Words either make up or break up something. Words play a very important in edifying each other. They are very crucial in every aspect of life. They impact you and your surroundings. They create an atmosphere of peace and joy, or they ruin the atmosphere. Words can make and gain friends at the same time may make enemies. They bring benefits to the hearer and as well as to the one who speaks .
