Vox Hunt: Word Up

Show us your favorite word, sentence or quote.

This quote was one I had found in deep meditation over myself... It struck me like a bolt of lightning, simply from how simple and great in magnitude it is.

In ira illic est verum - Zero

From Latin, it becomes "In anger, there is truth". We all take our words for granted. We really do. Often times, we freely speak as nothing will be held to us sometimes. In the heat of things, like a hot debate or an argument full of ire, sometimes we let our emotions take the best of us and we say things that radiate from our subconscious. Feelings that we may have harbored in silence suddenly explode like a volcanic eruption.

This eruption can sever relationships or even cause great schism between people. We can even collapse to shambles from doing something that cannot be undone. But from becoming a pile of fallen ramparts, we finally learn to appreciate the power of our words. Words can maim and kill, period. It's disappointing when people can just make an excuse of "I didn't mean it!" or "I was just mad", because truth of the matter is... from that madness, we are deeply honest to ourselves.
