“Language, I think, has paradoxical nature: it can unite or divide people. The real challenge posited by language is not about its preservation or usage; it is about proper utilization of its empowering nature. Language should be a tool that enable/empower people.” ~ Leofina Jane G. Galleta

Hey Leo,
Beautiful, beautiful, words! Yes, there are two sides to language; but its main role should be to empower, to encourage, to comfort, to transmit positive knowledge and, never, to humiliate, destroy, break one down and transmit negative knowledge.
Excellent!
Cheers

When the Grand Poet added alphabet bricks to our toybox, I expect he had hoped that we would retain His mastery when using them – little did He expect us to start building walls, or start using them as missiles.
Hi Tim! nice way to put it,:-) Thanks and cheers!
