The Power of the Written Word
The other day I found this quote by Hawthorne:
Words—so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become, in the hands of one who knows how to combine them
I believe he hit the nail right on the head. Did you ever think about the effects your writing will have on others? It is a challenge to writers to write for the good of society. I also wonder how many of us will benefit society by our writings.
