THINK ABOUT THIS
"Your words create your reality. When you speak, you are "acting". Linguists technically call the process "performative acts" - a word or words, sentences or utterances are performances - meaning they make something happen. Promises, declarations or words to persuade are performances that provoke action, as is hate speech. The "action" provoked can be either physical or verbal.... The book How We Do Things with Words, by J L Austin reveals how we automatically use words as a means to get people to do things for us, to endear ourselves to people, to make people like us, to buy our products, or countless other motivations - with both positve and negative results"
~ Sandra Ford Walston, the Courage Expert
