Bad power of words: Good power of words

In this world, there are miracles where a single phrase can save a person's soul, and tragedies where a mere word can overshadow someone's entire life.

Words are not just mere tools for communication; they are entities with the force to shake our very life and destiny.

This is a record of being swallowed by the darkness hidden within words, and eventually finding light from within it.

An invisible energy, a mark known as the "power of words"

A story about an invisible, mysterious energy.
Do you have spiritual intuition?

The world is filled with invisible, mysterious energy.

Whether people call it "spiritual intuition," or perhaps "wavelengths" or "thoughts/intentions," varies from person to person.

As for whether I myself possess so-called spiritual intuition, that is uncertain.
However,
there is one thing I can say with complete conviction.

The words uttered by human beings carry a terrifying "power of words" capable of easily eroding even the physical body and twisting the destiny of others.

The "power of words" is not merely a string of sounds.

It is like a "living spirit" ridden with the malice or ignorance, or the compassion or conviction, of the one who uttered it.

Once released, a word pierces through space and strikes deep into the target's psyche.
And remaining embedded, its seed continues to stay, to the point where it can govern that person's life for better or for worse.

Half of my own life was a history of being bound by this curse called the "bad power of words" and constantly struggling against it.

At the same time, however,
it was also a journey where, in a realm of quiet solitude, I touched a glimpse of the "good power of words" and seized a clue to reclaiming my true self.

I record that trajectory here.

Bad power of words

Words can sometimes become invisible blades that hurt people's hearts and even bind their future.

Aren't there events from the past that you just can't forget?

Even in early childhood before one's self-identity is fully established, malicious words rained upon someone can be engraved on the heart as deep wounds, continuing to govern that person's thoughts and actions even as they grow up.

Here, I will unravel the mechanism of how the "bad power of words" I experienced cast a shadow over my life and became a curse that bound me.

Bad Power of Words
The Curse of Childhood and the Mechanism of Deep-Rooted Misfortune

Words do not simply disappear once they leave our mouths.

Words hurled at us by those close to us or by the surrounding environment during childhood and adolescence
sink heavily into the depths of our souls
and gradually transform into a “curse” that narrows the choices available to us in life.

Looking back, the social climate of the time when I was in elementary and middle school
was also a major factor that accelerated this curse.

Concepts such as compliance and respect for human rights were extremely underdeveloped,
and it was an era when a somewhat savage and rough atmosphere naturally permeated society as a whole
and even educational settings.

Unreasonable violence and verbal abuse were ignored,
and there was even a trend in which foolish values and tyrannical behavior were praised as “strength.”

The mentality of children was also extremely immature by today’s standards,
to the point where it must literally be described as “low-intelligence.”

Within the closed, inescapable miniature caste system known as school,
innocent yet cruel words flew through the air every day.

The “bad power of words” released through such malice and ignorance
mercilessly tore through my still-soft and sensitive mind.

What is frightening
is that the poison of words once embedded in the heart does not fade even as time passes.

Even now, as an adult who should have left that place behind,
the words from that time suddenly resurface in my mind,
forming a distorted self-perception that “it is only natural for me to be unfortunate.”

The curse imprinted in this way
robs us of our confidence,
diminishes our desire to take on challenges,
and creates a vicious cycle in which we end up choosing unfortunate circumstances for ourselves.

This is precisely
the mechanism of deep-rooted “misfortune” brought about by the “bad power of words”
that was planted within us.

Ugh, I'm in the same group as ◯◯!? No way...

◯◯ is useless.

◯◯ can't do anything right.

◯◯, you're hopeless.

◯◯? There's no way they can do it anyway.

◯◯ is worthless.

These are things children say.
Because they are words spoken by children, I imagine they were not meant to be taken that seriously.

The people who said them probably had no profound meaning behind their words
and merely uttered them in the moment, carried away by the mood or a fleeting emotion.

Trivial nonsense that they would forget by the next day.
However,
the damage inflicted on the soul of the person receiving those words
cannot possibly be canceled out by such excuses.

They were nothing more than childish nonsense.
And yet those words entered me
and remain there even now, decades later, long after I reached adulthood.

Those words pierced my heart like sharp shards of glass and became fused with my body.
Even now, decades later,
long after my youth and well into adulthood,
the abuse from that time vividly resurfaces in my mind along with the damp air of that classroom.

Words do not disappear.

Physical wounds heal with time,
but the wounds of the mind left by malignant “power of words” continue to bleed no matter how many years pass.

Bad Power of Words
Was I Originally “Someone Who Couldn’t Do Anything”? The Deeply Embedded “Negative Aura”

A child’s environment is not limited to school.

Even the home that should have protected me after I was hurt at school
was also a place that supplied another curse.

From my parents, who were closest to me
and should have been the people who gave birth to and raised me,
I was routinely subjected to words like these.

“You’re such a useless child.”

“You’re so unreliable.”

This, too, is “power of words.”

These were also undeniably powerful examples of malignant “power of words.”

Perhaps, as parents,
they merely intended to complain,
or perhaps it was simply venting,
an attempt to turn away from the fact
that they had given birth to a child they had never truly wanted,
a last-ditch escape,
or merely words spat out in frustration.

However, to a young child, a parent’s words are the very rules of the world.

“You are useless.”
“You are unreliable.”
As I continued to hear those words,
my subconscious began, without my realizing it,
to set me up to become exactly that kind of person.

“There, are you satisfied? I’m useless and unreliable—just as you said I would be.”

In later years,
I came to want to say those words with such irony,
because my life continued to trace the very path laid out by the “power of words” my parents had released.

Words define reality,
and reality then further proves the truth of those words.

Through this worst possible vicious cycle, I became completely imprisoned by the curse.

Bad Power of Words
Accumulated Curses and the Embodiment of Misfortune

At this point,
let us objectively summarize the consequences brought about by the “bad power of words.”

The residue of the words that accumulated within me took the form of the following negative labels
and became completely ingrained in me as a living, breathing person.

Someone everyone dislikes

Useless

Incapable

Good-for-nothing

Unreliable

Even if one attributes these things to my environment,
if they had taken root in me from early childhood, when I had no way to change them,
then they are not simply subjective assumptions.

Strangely enough,
these malignant instances of the power of words distort the wavelength of one’s vital energy.

As a result, in fact,
negative events such as “a burden,” “a nuisance,” “someone everyone dislikes,” “disadvantage,” “bad luck,” and “misfortune”
began to gather around my life
like scrap iron drawn to a magnet.

What makes this curse so malignant
is that it even affects people meeting me for the first time.

Even people who should know nothing at all about my past or background
somehow form, from the very moment we meet,
the impression that I am
“a useless person” and “someone they can look down on.”

My aura and mannerisms, distorted by the “power of words,”
are unconsciously conveyed to others
and automatically create an environment
in which I am more likely to be bullied
or treated pitifully.

Reputational Damage and the Malicious Power of Words

The absurdity of somehow starting with a low evaluation right from the very first meeting—

At its root lies
continuous "verbal harassment" directed at the individual,
deeply intertwined with "baseless reputational damage,"
creating a malicious psychological mechanism.

"Ugh, I'm in the same group as [Name]!?"
"So useless."
"They can't do it anyway."
"You have no value."
Negative words like these, when repeated, strip the victim of their dignity and self-confidence.

Such abusive remarks go beyond a mere individual venting their frustration;
they instill a shared perception among those around them that "[Name] is someone it's okay to look down on,"
functioning as an extremely malicious form of "reputational damage."

"Baseless rumors" and "malicious words,"
once spread, cannot be erased by the victim's efforts alone,
casting a shadow over their entire life like an invisible curse.

Labels completely unrelated to one's true self take on a life of their own,
imperceptibly eroding the evaluations and relationships of those around them—

That is the essential terror of reputational damage.

How Reputational Damage and "Malicious Words" Resonate

The terror of baseless rumors and reputational damage lies in the fact that, regardless of whether they are true or not,
only the "negative image" precedes them and takes on a life of its own.

Verbal harassment and reputational damage are
essentially the same in that both
"unjustly degrade the target's value through baseless labels."

The residue left in the words and within the individual themselves, such as
"Useless,"
"Unreliable,"
"Worthless,"
solidifies the preconceptions of those around them, and
no matter how hard the victim tries,
it creates an unfortunate environment where they are treated as someone who is "incapable from the start."

The Absurdity of It Propagating Even to First-Time Acquaintances Who Don't Know the Facts

The most deep-rooted problem within this structure is that
this negative evaluation spreads even to "people meeting them for the first time," who shouldn't know anything about their circumstances or past history.

When subjected to heartless words for many years
and continuously exposed to reputational damage,
people unconsciously try to protect themselves, causing their demeanor to shrink
or exuding an excessive sense of tension.

Alternatively,
the very atmosphere created by those around them that "it's okay to treat that person poorly" becomes a silent signal,
and it intuitively transmits even to someone meeting them for the first time.

Before getting to know the person's character or abilities, the other person intuitively judges them as
"someone they can look down on" or
"someone to put below themselves,"
forcing the victim into an extremely disadvantageous position of already having a low evaluation right from the start.

As a result,
even a first-time acquaintance who knows absolutely nothing about their background or character will automatically perceive them in the following ways,

That guy is weak	A weakling
Low level	Incompetent
Smelly	Target for bullying
Dirty	Creepy
To be ignored	Throwaway
A burden	Slow-witted
Shabby	Ugly
Don't come near	Don't touch
A nuisance	A miserable person
Why are you here?	Why are you alive?

effortlessly forming an unjust environment for human relationships.

Negative Evaluations Stemming from the Bad Power of Words

Baseless "bad rumors" and the "malicious power of words"
threaten an individual's dignity
and possess the immense power to unjustly distort even first-time relationships.

A situation where one is not even given a fair starting line due to baseless words or unjust rumors
cannot be dismissed as mere "incompatibility" or "misunderstanding."

The very structure where malicious words and reputational damage chip away at an individual's dignity
and cast a shadow even over first-time relationships
is a serious evil that must not be overlooked.

To break this vicious cycle,
it is essential for those around them to have an attitude of discerning the truth without swallowing rumors whole,
along with an objective perspective to free the victim from unjust negative labels.

Reversing the curse's target—
You lot are more feeble-minded than I am.

No matter how hard you try,
no matter how much you struggle,
disadvantageous situations and wretched conditions persist.

It was undoubtedly the people around me who created this "cursed constitution."

Even if they meant no harm, the words they carelessly blurted out undeniably became a malignant force—a toxic "power of words"—that ate away at me.

Even if there was no malicious intent, they have become "malignant words."

It’s the fault of those around me that I ended up with a constitution like this.

find myself feeling indignant about it, even at this late stage.

However, I am no longer someone who simply accepts this curse without resistance.

The nerve of you, foisting such malice upon me.

I’ll return that twisted energy of "spoken words" to you—gift-wrapped and ready to go.

Let's make sure to pay this back properly right here.

"You lot are less intelligent than I am."

"You who scorned me and laughed at me as useless—you are the ones who are far more feeble-minded and foolish than I am."

This unequivocal rejection and condemnation,
will surely serve as the first step toward breaking the curse that has accumulated over so many years.

Mirror

What becomes visible beyond the noise of reality.

Everyone judges others through the social filters of the real world.

Titles,
annual income,
appearance,
shrewdness, or the loudness of one's voice—

Thanks to the protection of this noise called "outer decoration,"
even those who lack substance
are allowed to act as if they are superior.

However,
once you step into the world of online gaming,
that plating peels away.

The Mirror of the Online World
Others' "True Level" Exposed by the Game Filter

In the flesh-and-blood real world,
"noise" such as social titles, appearance,
or the loudness of one's voice
obscures a human's true abilities and nature.

So,
how about in the world of "online gaming,"
where that noise is stripped away and only pure actions and results remain?

The online world,
a game space that is simple and a common environment for all,
is also a mirror that strikingly and vividly reflects a player's "bare nature" and "true intelligence."

There,
those arrogant other players who once mocked me in the real world as "useless," "incapable," and "unreliable"
also exist within the exact same environment.

I observe their maneuvers through the filter of the game, coldly and objectively.

Then, what emerged was an utterly comical and pitiful reality.

The other players who mocked me with words like "useless," "incapable," and "unreliable"
are exposed through the game filter
as being a truly low-level bunch.

"Useless," "incapable," "unreliable"—
they are clearly at a lower level than me, the player who was supposed to be all those things.

"True Ability" Laid Bare and Pitiful Self-Justification

In the real world,
they might have made themselves look superior
through clever wording and asserting dominance.

However,
in a game space where everyone competes under the same conditions and rules,
excuses and mere lip service hold no sway whatsoever.

What is exposed on the screen is,
in fact,
their lack of situational judgment,
their narrow-mindedness misled by short-term gains,
and their mental immaturity in shifting the blame to others the moment they are at a disadvantage.

While I maintain a bird's-eye view of the board and calmly continue to choose optimal solutions,
they can only surrender to their emotions and repeat haphazard actions.

Intoxicated by the omnipotent feeling that "I am excellent,"
the reality that they,
in truth, possess neither self-control nor thinking skills
is visualized to a painfully clear degree.

Their gameplay was extremely low-level.
Narrow-sighted, repeating the same mistakes, lacking situational judgment, and letting emotions drive them to self-destruction.

When stripped of the papier-mâché armor they wore in reality,
all that remained was shallow pride and incoherent maneuvers.

What a pathetic sight in the game world
for those guys who evaluated others so critically and arrogantly wielded verbal violence in the real world.
Far from being "outstanding individuals who can do anything,"
they are clearly and overwhelmingly at a "lower level" than me, the player.

"Ah, so that's what your true abilities look like..."

The Demise of a Distorted Sense of Superiority

The countless words they used to dismiss and look down on others in the real world
were likely nothing more than a defense mechanism to hide their own shallowness.

The game world, where true differences in ability are thrust before them as numbers and results,
silently and cruelly illuminates their "incompetence."

The words that once demeaned me
now reflect like a mirror
and pierce right back at them.

Without being misled by the loudness of their voices,
when I saw through to their "true level" as an objective fact,
the absurd frustration I once felt vanished,
leaving behind only a cold realization and undeniable superiority.

The Mirror
Exposing the Lies in the Power of Words

In the real world, they merely used the force of words, the "malicious power of words," to force me into the "box of incompetence" and place themselves in a "superior position."

Their own essential abilities were by no means superior.
They were merely using the easy tool of words to degrade others and satisfy their own petty pride.

Watching them suffer an unsightly defeat on the other side of the screen, exposing their shoddy gameplay, I pass my second judgment with utter conviction.

"You, who can do nothing without lining up words of abuse, are far more incompetent than me."

The game world was a realm that exposed the "lies" planted by the power of words in reality, rightfully redefining our distorted power dynamic.

The Good Power of Words

When humans receive words from others,
they are strongly influenced by the "context," such as the other person's facial expressions, tone of voice,
and the atmosphere drifting in that space.

In particular, against insidious malice such as ridicule or sarcasm,
it is natural for anyone to brace their heart
and end up getting hurt.

However, when you calmly deconstruct the structure of the words spoken by the other person,
you may find an "objective fact" hidden there
that is completely different from the sender's intention.

The Good Power of Words
The Conviction of "I Did It" Even in a Casual Remark

Within those memories of gaming,
there is just one phrase left behind
that emits a completely different color from the rest.

It was also during my student days when I was absorbed in a game.
A classmate who happened to be watching me from next to me
suddenly
let slip these words.

Hmph, you can do "only" that kind of thing, huh.

That was by no means pure praise.
If anything, it was spoken in a cynical tone, half-smiling, as if mocking me.

In context, it might have been close to "teasing," heavily laden with sarcasm,
implying,
"You're useless at studying and sports, but you're a big shot only when it comes to unproductive games."

However, my mind at the time
sensitively detected and absorbed not the malice behind those words,
but "a certain powerful fact" inherent in the words themselves.

Can do

Those words certainly contained the ring of "can do."

Even with the limitation of "only that kind of thing,"
it was the very moment when another person acknowledged the fact to me
that "you have ability" and
"you are making it succeed."

This sneer-laced remark
caused a strange chemical reaction in my subconscious,
and began to function as my very first "good power of words."

Accepting the "Fact" That Neutralizes Malice

By adding the modifier "only,"
the other person was attempting to demean my entire existence.

No matter how cynical an attitude the sarcastic person took,
they could not deny the very fact that
"I demonstrated outstanding ability in that situation."

Precisely because they could not deny it,
they had no choice but to narrow the scope with the word "only" and
desperately struggle to assert dominance.

Cleanly stripping away the context filled with malice,
and extracting and accepting only the fact at its core: that I "can do" it.

That was an intellectual defense permitted only to those who trust their own senses,
independent of the evaluations of others,
and it was also an excellent method of self-affirmation.

The Confidence and Quiet Conviction Brought by the "Core" of the Words

No matter how wrapped in a negative context it was,
once the power of words saying "can do" soaked into my heart,
it remained within me as a solid fact.

That is because it was
the undeniable proof of my ability,
unintentionally admitted by others who tried to look down on me.

There is no need to be swayed by the evaluations or malicious wording of others.

As long as you can discern the "core of truth" existing deep within the spoken words,
you can transform any sneer or sarcasm
into a solid confidence that supports yourself.

The Good Power of Words
The "Ultimate" Ability Born from Solitude

The act of gaming is fundamentally a solitary one.

It is a world where you face off using only a screen, a program,
and your own fingertips and brain cells.

Unlike human relationships in the real world,
there are no intruders there to disrupt the wavelength of your mind
or hurl malicious words at you.

In that tranquil space completely isolated from the gazes and evaluations of others,
a human can, for the first time,
unleash 100% of their true potential.

When I am undisturbed by anyone
and just intently facing the game,
I fall into a sensation of conversing with the abyss of my own soul.
It is
a state close to the "ultimate," found beyond stripping away noise to the utmost limit.

I faced myself, and
as a result, I properly "did it."

Without relying on anyone,
I conquered the system and reached the goal using only my own strength.

This accumulation of successful experiences of "doing it" in the game
became a powerful antidote that shattered from the inside
the curse of being "useless" and "unreliable" that the people around me tried to implant in me.

No matter what others say,
within my own domain,
it proves that I was a person capable of achieving results
and a human being with ability.

The Power of Words
To Rewrite Your Life From Now On

Until now,
you may have suffered from the negative power of words.

The cold words thrown at you,
and the wounds deeply engraved in your heart,
have likely bound you for a long time.
However,
please know this.

If words have the power to bind you,
the power to free you in the same way
and rewrite your life anew also lies dormant within words.

There is no need to deny the past.
Precisely because you know that pain,
you have become someone who understands the "weight of words" and "true kindness" better than anyone else.

Let us fill your time from now on with warm words chosen by you,
not with evaluations decided by someone else.

The initiative to weave the story of your life
is now,
undeniably, in your hands.

• Be conscious of positive words

  Let's gradually change the words you deliver to yourself into warm ones.

• Acknowledge small steps

  Praise yourself by saying "I did it" for even the most trivial things.

• Let go of past wounds

  Move forward believing in the kind words you speak yourself, rather than the heartless words of others.

The Power of Words
Rephrase It As "I Did It," Even If It's a Lie

When you quietly look back on the path you've taken so far,
you might realize the mysterious and almost terrifying power that "words" possess.

Words have a shadow side,
sometimes deeply wounding a person's heart and making them unable to stand back up.
However,
the fact that words have such a strong influence
is actually a source of great hope.

If words that cause pain had that much power,
then their opposite, "warm and kind words,"
harbor an immeasurable driving force
to gently lift you up from rock bottom
and softly push you forward toward the future you envision.

That is why,
from now on, let's use that power of words to love
and protect yourself.

It doesn't matter at all if you can't genuinely believe it at first.
It's okay if it feels somewhat embarrassing
or if you only half-mean it as a joke.

"Things just happened to go well this time, but maybe I have this wonderful talent."

Please start by taking it lightly like that.

Even if you feel that the objective facts or your preparations are not yet sufficient,
muster just a little courage
and offer warm words to yourself.

Saying, "I did it. I am someone who can do things."

Well done

I did it

I am someone who can do things

You truly overcame it

Just as expected of you

You really tried your best

You will be fine

Well done

Even if it's a lie, even if you're pretending,
there is great meaning in putting it into words.

And please gently share those kind words
with the precious people around you as well.

Let's say them to others too.
Sometimes even mixing in jokes, or appropriate white lies is fine.
Tell them, "You really tried your best," or "You will be fine."

"Words come first, and reality slowly follows after."

This is a truth of this world that we have deeply realized,
even through sad events and painful experiences.

Words create the mind,
that mind changes actions,
and eventually, it gently changes reality itself.

In that case, let's just make that mechanism our ally.

Let go, one by one, of the sad words you have stored up inside yourself so far,
and from now on, consciously
gently pour in positive words that warmly fill you.

The kind power of words you emit will softly illuminate your life from now on.

• Find small "I did it" moments

  Being able to wake up in the morning,
  being able to eat meals,
  those are also magnificent achievements.

• Offer warm words to both yourself and others

  "You tried hard," "It went well,"
  try saying it even if it's a lie.

• Anticipate with words

  Even if it hasn't materialized yet,
  try declaring, "I can do this" or "I am okay."

You might feel embarrassed or confused at first when affirming yourself.

Your heart might feel unsettled, wondering,
"Is this really okay?"
But,
it's completely fine if you don't force yourself to truly believe it.
Simply
speaking warm words softly out loud is more than enough.

Tell yourself "well done" for taking a small step,
and "you're amazing" for surviving today.

That voice will reach your own ears first and foremost, quietly healing your tired heart.

Words are a gentle present you give to your future self.
It doesn't matter if it's a lie or pretend.

The small seeds of words you have sown
will take time,
but they will undoubtedly and gently bloom in the form of reality.

The Power of Words
The Light of Words that Loves Yourself and Nurtures a New Tomorrow

The positive words you send towards yourself
might feel somewhat unreliable at first,
like a small whisper.

You might feel anxious, wondering, "Will this really change things?"
However, please keep speaking those warm words without end,
and let them soak deeply into your heart.

The seeds of words sown little by little every day
will take root in your heart over time,
eventually growing into a large tree of "unwavering confidence" that won't fall to any wind.

And that great tree
will become a reliable compass that continues to protect you,
guiding you to the place where you should truly shine and live freely from now on.

The cold words of the past that have bound and tormented you until now
can never hurt your heart again.

When you realize the imperfection of those who couldn't understand your worth
and threw heartless words at you,
the curse they cast has already completely lost its power.

You are by no means powerless.

You yourself must know best
the unwavering truth of "I did it," that you endured all alone in quiet solitude
and were able to take a step forward.

From now on,
with your own gentle and strong words, and no one else's,
let's warmly bless the path you have walked so far.

Gently envelop the wounds of the past,
and with your own power, anew, draw a future
worthy of your true magnificence.

A heart and soul wounded by words is truly healed and rescued
not by external evaluations, but solely by the stronger, kinder words you give to yourself.

From now on,
with the "good power of words" you emit yourself,
bless your life,
and rebuild with your own hands a future that matches your true abilities.

Using words that believe in yourself as a guidepost, let's walk toward a certain future.
