But words are almost the only way -- certainly the most powerful and flexible
way -- that we can express meaning. Change the words and you change the
meaning: that's the whole point. What's the same is the underlying reality.
But psychologists argue that perception is reality; if you can change
perception by changing the meaning by changing the words, perhaps you really
are changing reality, at least the subjective reality of the reader or hearer.
