It's true... words are empty, meaningless. They simply say what you are feeling but they cannot convey it, nor truly invoke or portray those feelings inside of you.
While words cannot truly portray emotion, they have the ability to provoke anger, passion, sadness, joyfulness and even love. Even then though, they are not truly giving you the feeling and experience of such emotion, yet they provoke such a thing to let you experience for yourself.
I wrote this myself :)

Nice point, "Richard C".
But,
We fumble to find the right words to convey our feelings, only because they are so hard to find.
What you think of that?
Your comment was a very fair comment :) I appreciate people pointing out different views.

Words are a somewhat rudimentary tool for communication. But until humans communicate telepathically or by some other means words are what we have.
The ability of the listener to sympathize and empathize is essential to complete the transfer of emotion through our words.
Words are only as good as the faith that you place in the speaker.
The speaker is only as good as his or her actions prove them to be.

Words are not necessarily meaningless, although they can be. The words alone are meaningless when there is promise without the action needed to carry out the promise. The lack of action connected to the words actually carry the meaning.
On the other side of the coin, words can have enough meaning to ruin friendships, relationships with ones you love, start wars, ruin business dealings, etc. Look at our president - anytime he gives a speech and stumbles over his words, it sometimes changes the perception of him in the eyes of many people.

Nice writing, though I strongly feel words have meaning...if they didn't, we wouldn't laboriously try and find the right ones to convey meaning.

There are no suitable words to describe emotion and emotion is hard to put into words.
