How powerful are our words?

Question

You are standing in your kitchen. Imagine the time of day, the color of the countertops, the appliances, the cupboards. You hear the hum of the refrigerator. You notice a large, plump, juicy orange lying on the cutting board. You pick it up and feel its weight. You feel the texture of its dimpled, glossy skin. With a sharp knife, you carefully cut a large slice.

As you cut into the orange you notice the rich, liquidy, fragrant juice trickle onto the counter top. You see the bright whiteness of the pulp in contrast with the orange flesh. You see the small drops of orange juice forming on the cut surface. Now imagine lifting this dripping slice of orange to your mouth, and smelling its sweet, fresh scent. Your mouth begins to water as you slowly bite into the orange. It releases a flood of sweet tangy juice into your mouth.

If you started salivating star this question.

Answer 1

Then you can imagine how using only descriptive words can get someone over a long standing anger problem and even make a person perpetually happy. Descriptive words are accurate, scientific, cause a jump in understanding, people skills, happiness and sanity to name a few. Would you believe you can even lose weight, or do I stretch your imagination? Being happy and with more control of emotions. you don't mistake emotional hunger for physical. How about these words, a ten minute video.

Answer 2

Good point. Reminds me of a story my mother told me. When she was a kid she went to a school concert and sat in the front row, eating a lemon. She said the kids in the horn section were blowing spit. Of course, your story is about verbal cues, and hers was about visual cues, but we do seem to be programmed to react to certain things. (By the way, my mouth is still watering :o)
