WORDS . . . words

Have you ever stopped and thought about how differently we internalize life? How the guy sitting next to you on the merry-go-round or on the metro can overhear the same conversation as you but he hears one thing while you hear another? How word association in and of itself triggers each of us to make that word an emotion, something entirely it's own creation? And one author may be furious or frustrated about the same thing that leaves another author elated or calm. Ever thought about that? Oh, and for all of you who still owe me money, I'm ready for you to pay up now. I've got plane tickets to buy!! How did those words make you feel? :)
