Words are one of the most powerful forces available to us. They have been used as a means of encouragement. Or conversely, as a means of destruction. Linguists and writers often ask five questions when they are defining a word or putting it to its best use in a sentence: What does the word mean? What is the word’s history? What words does it associate with? What grammatical functions are required? And what are its cultural background uses in sentences and speech?

It is amazing how some words come and go in popularity, and that each generation feels the need to add new vocabulary. Today, words have even been squeezed into a small picture called an emoji. Sadhguru presents another aspect of how words can be used without conscious intent.
