Imagine an arrow coming your way

        What’s the sensation of seeing an arrow coming towards you, launched by someone who decides to have fun… with your panic? You might be cornered without exit or running away unable to defend yourself, and forced to struggle for survival. What do people think when they are being arrested by the police and their hands are immobilized to wait for an arrow that will end their lives in an execution? What do people think if they are watching an arrow performing a delicate curve in the air and in a few seconds its dry sound will stop their lives, and will design an exclamation mark on their bodies?
        Arrows are not, simply, fine and decorated weapons with feathers to make their performance the best. Arrows are not, simply, a V-shaped, a knife with two edges looking for life to eliminate it. Arrows have no life of their own. They are the skills of those who send them to express power. Arrows are not necessarily arrows if they turn into words. Words can be fired up and can travel in the wind and turn into lies, and false truths to destroy reputations. If we shoot words there is no condition to take them back, even if we regret them, like arrows.
       Arrows can be terrible words that people type on keyboards to disseminate them in the digital world. Catastrophic arrows are bad things that we say in moments of hate or only to provoke others. And we surprise friends and others who don’t believe we are able to say them.
       We have been avoiding arrows fired by others but sometimes we use them ourselves, and we don’t bother if we are using them consciously or not. If we can figure out arrows in our way, we have to try to imagine the effect that we provoke when we launch them at others. Be careful with words we keep in our bag of arrows like caged beasts. We have to remember that peace emerges when the heat of the hate decreases and sometimes we are stones and then we turn into windows. In the end, humanity needs to live together and it doesn’t need to set up arrows everywhere.
       Arrows are terrible weapons when they fly to cross the air without direction. It would be better if they fly with messages of peace. On the other hand, they could be used to overcome walls to send cosiness, advice, food, and water to others.
        Letters are the best arrows with enchanted words to achieve hearts far away from us. Words can reach these hearts to preserve people if arrows are kept in their bags.
