The Power of Small Words.

Think of a big word. Prestidigitation will do. Sixteen letters, six syllables. It has a definition, but it carries no weight. It’s the sort of word you could lose down the back of the sofa and never know it was missing.

So then think of three very short words of one syllable each: Yes, No, and Why? Yes and No can build empires, destroy continents and send a human being insane. And Why? can launch a soul into the coldness of space searching for an answer. Such power in something so small.
