&lt;p&gt;We often hear, &lt;em&gt;a picture is worth a thousand words&lt;/em&gt;, but we forget that &lt;em&gt;a word is worth a thousand feelings&lt;/em&gt;. In just one word you can capture many different emotions, aspects, and memories. Take for example the word boat: maybe we remember that first time we went fishing with a family member or that time that seasickness ruined last year’s cruise. The emotions captured by a word depend greatly on our experiences and memories the word conjures.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
