background information
​
Words can be hurtful and even unintentionally drive best friends into enmity (Words like Bullets). Words can help you break out of your own prison (Break out). The words of our everyday heroes in care and disaster management seem already forgotten (Heroes). Words from above shatter fates from below (Powerless). Words make people find each other (My shelter). Not all words want to be heard (Talking with the dead ones). Words can bounce off us and never reach us (Wall). The right words prevent social failure (I am ashamed). The right words motivate people to live for a cause and give meaning to their lives (Would you live like me).
