Introduction

«It's kind of strange to think that the human being, during his great evolution, has used as one of his first tool for further growth that which nowadays is the reason of so much pain: words.

Perhaps we forget, perhaps we just pretend to forget, perhaps we forget for a moment, then we remember and eventually, once we remember, we try everything in our power in order to forget.

What? Well,

the weight of words.

Their meaning,

their value...

It can be said that each word has its own coin. This coin, however, is not unique... No... is multiple... Right, let us say that each word has its own currency: some words can have the same currency and two different words can have different currencies.

Anger, Sadness, Joy, Sorrow, Envy, Jealousy, these are our currencies... or, if we prefer, one more time, this is the "PRICE" to pay for each word.

Yes... each of us pays a price in exchange for each word we receive... or gets a payment... but can we actually say that we do obtain something while conversing in this world of gains? Where the only words that travel our interpersonal cobweb are words of HATE, RESENTMENT and PAIN?!

Because after all that's human nature: man suffers in loneliness and... incapable of handling it... the loneliness... it can't do anything else other than venting everything on others...

...or else...

...it could BREAK...»
