Definition Essay: The Power Of Words
What is truth?
All words hold power. Words have the power to break down and tear apart a person wither it be emotionally, physically, or spiritually and those same words have the power to build a person or foundation. But the words themselves are not what give them the power that they hold it is us the people that give them the powers and meanings that they hold. We might not be aware of it but we are the ones who determine which words have what type of power. We decide which words label you as what. Certain words can labialize you as a horrible person but also some words can label you as the greatest person someone has ever met, it all depends on what type of impact we want a certain word or group of words to mean. One word that holds a lot of meaning is truth. Truth is the key a component when it comes to more than one person …show more content…
being successful. When I hear the word truth I think of reliability, dependability, trust, loyalty and honor. To have you full trust in someone is a huge thing in the society we now live in. Without truth we lose and destroy a lot important bonds and relationships because of it. Foundations are built around trust.
Truth to me means a belief that someone and something is reliable, honest or good.
But truth is more than a word with a definition it is life. My mom use to always tell me that the truth because the truth will set you free, truth is beauty and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She would tell me this meaning that telling anything other than truth will lead it eat ate you and your conscious and as you compound more and more lies with it you will continue to eat at you until you are set free by telling the truth. When you’re at the wrong a lot more people respect that you are telling the truth and owning up to what you did then trying to cover it up with a lie to make things look better. She would tell me that truth is beauty and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, she would tell me this with the idea I would understand that every expects and idolizes the truth and people will only as truthful to you as you are to them. If you ask a million different people what the word truth means you would easily get a million different answers but one thing that we all can agree on is that there is no one truth, we live a world of many
truths.
We all want and expect the truth but the precious words of truth can also hurt you just the same or even more than a lie could ever do. We as people who plead and beg for the truth to be told majority of people don’t know how to truly accept the truth. The disagreement or argument that I always hear is that telling the truth may not always be a good thing. Some people that a “little white lie” is better than keeping it truthful it makes them happy. Is there a thing as being too honest or being to truthful? Many people argue that telling the truth and only the truth as the best way to go about life, although the truth might hurt someone feelings it still needs to be heard. If the truth is not what you want to hear a smart person accepts the truth and uses it to better their situation or themselves. Is it acceptable or the right thing in the end to lie to protect someone’s feelings from being hurt? Some people might argue that all anyone wants to do is to be happy throughout life and if they have to live a lie to be happy that should be good enough choice for them. I was raised with the idea instilled in my mind that a man’s word means and tells you all you need to know about a man. If a man is anything other than or tells anything other than the truth he is to be frowned upon. In one aspect that truth plays a big role in is in a marriage, or relationship. A relationship or marriage without trust or the ability to be truthful is bound to be a failure. Before getting into relationships a lot of people have problems with trust from possibly early childhood experiences or past relationships. Truth in a relationship can not only be said or talked about actions have to be forth. No truth in relationships leads insecurities within people and the inability to trust in a relationship can cause the feeling of emotions such as anger, pain, betrayal, and dishonored. No matter how much you love someone if they do not feel trusted feelings towards a person and a relationship quickly change. When you get married you make a lifetime commitment to love, care, be loyal and truthful with your loved one. There is no getter felling then being told anything but the truth by someone who means more than the world to you. To be untruthful will forever have you labialized as disloyal, undependable, and dishonorable and to me those who are untruthful are lower than the earth itself. Finding out that your significant other is withholding the truth from you is a devastating thing to deal with. The truth holds such a big role in the success of relationship that withholding it our telling anything other than truth can have such a negative impact on what’s meant to be the upbringing of happiness in your life. Being true to you is another part and form of truth. When being true to yourself it is having integrity for what you believe in and your morals. Being true to yourself is not changing who you are or what you about when you a tested by adversity and how you act in the face of success. Being true to yourself is to know and understanding the truth of who you are, accepting your own personal flaws and imperfections along with advantages and your own personal abilities. Being true to yourself is not letting anybody change who you are, that means that you hold on to what you know and was taught was correct wither it be your religious ways, the true ways of your culture, or your true goals in morals that you live your everyday life by. When you are true to yourself people respect you and your ways more and are more willing to listen to you. Being true to yourself and having inner truth and inner peace with who you are I believe is the main key to being happy.
As stated before all words have their own strength and power. They have the power to break down a person or foundation or they could also build them up, wither it be emotionally physically, or spiritually. We as people in this society give words the power that they hold by how we act upon their meanings. Truth is one of the simplest words but holds a lot more power than any other. Truth is much more than a simple word with a meaning it is a way for life that we all should follow. Truth is the main component of success in relationships, work place, friendships, and many other things we involve ourselves in our normal day life. Without expressing or acting on the word truth and the meaning behind it a lot of different relationships and bonds will be lost and destroyed. When I hear the word truth I think of reliability, dependability, trust, loyalty and honor. To have you full trust in someone is a huge thing in the society we now live in. There is no one truth there are many different forms of truth in the world that we live in. I don’t think that two people will agree and give the same definition for truth if asked. To some people the idea, meaning, and the actions the come from the word of truth id the best way to show that who you truly are. When I hear the word truth I think of reliability, dependability, trust, loyalty and honor. To have you full trust in someone is a huge thing in the society we now live in. Wither you understand or want to believe it or not the world that we live in is ran and built around the idea of how truth is and how truth should be no matter if it’s the truth in someone else I a business aspect or in a relationship with someone that mean the world to you, or if its just the truth you hold within yourselves. I think at the end of the day we expect and deserve the truth in our life’s.
