Recently I asked which people thought most potent: Word or Action? All ultimately landed on action but a few folks went a bit deeper talking about the power of word and deed match/mismatch. I think word and act are a chicken/egg type trick, as each can trigger the other.

Word is also action, talk about authors or journalists. And sometimes action is the best form of words, the fourth form of verb.

Yes! I do agree there's a symbiotic relationship. And, word matching deed is powerful. Sadly, I don't know a human, very much including myself, that achieves word/deed consistently. I do work on it but human is human :D

Language is like humans... The others always feel that you are more powerful but only the language knows how to exist within the 26 characters.

26 characters for English. It gets complex with more languages including programming (language is code). Add symbols (semiotics) and bam! Look at the sayings we have: "Action is more powerful than words." "First there was he Word." "The pen is mightier than the sword." Curious!

So much of language is related to our first language(s) and those we learn. For me, fully fluent English and Spanish.I can read and write Hebrew, even without vowels, but have almost no comprehension. Yiddish. Ladino. I can read and find meaning in all Latin cores: Romanian.
