When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect.  Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness.  And not just our mood.  These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes.  Sometimes the relief can be palpable.
