There's a pseudo-scientific theory out there that states you never actually touch anything. That sensation you feel when you press against something? It's the repulsion between the electrons that make up you and whatever you are pressing against that you 'feel' (just like when you try to shove two similar magnets together.).
Think about that.
That means you've never been touched. Never been held. Never had a hug. Never been kissed. (And yes, it means you're technically levitating as you read this.)
All the things that get your heart racing and a hormone rush? Never happened. Because you've never been touched.
Think about that for a minute. At the fundamental level, we live in a universe that doesn't want you to touch anything or be touched: it wants you to be alone.
You know what overcomes that? Words.
Words give us commonality. Words give us that hormone rush. "I love you," "Great job," "I do."
In a universe where we can't be touched, words are what make us feel better about ourselves - and others.
What words achieve is the ultimate middle finger to a universe that wants us to be alone.
Love it. Words do have weight - and impact.
