They say the pen is mightier then the sword, or basically words. Is this because words can cut like a knife through your soul? A phone call about a death in the family. Your significant other telling you in a letter its over. Your boss telling you you are fired. Your parents screaming at you for bringing home a bad grade.

All of these things can rip your heart out or make you cringe. A swore,, however, can slash you and kill you. Can words kill? This is something I have just thought about. I guess words like hate speech could cause someone to kill. I just dont know if the pen is mightier then the sword. I dont know if words can kill.

That being said, I do think speaking certain words, or writing certain things CAN get you killed or at least people want you dead. Look at Rushdi. Look at the guy who made the Muslim film. Look at lovers who kill the other because of a verbal fight. Maybe a racist remark or homophobic remark gets someone killed.

I am just rambling again, but for some reason that quote came to me. I dont know if any of that made any sense, but once again I am just writing all this wacko stuff floating through my mind because I just cant think of anything else to write. I guess I am going to publish it. If you read this journal, I am sorry, because its mostly crap.  haha   Its just not been a good month and the holidays are coming up and I am just blah. I just need to make it through this course and my other class and get that much needed break.

I am taking Creative writing again next semester, so hopefully some of my writing energy and creative thoughts comes back through. Sigh
