Simplified Meaning:
When something is written down and shared with others, it takes on a new level of importance and impact. Imagine you write a story or share a strong opinion online. Once people start reading it, your words can influence their thoughts and actions, even if you stop thinking about them. For example, if someone writes a book about kindness, readers might start acting more kindly themselves. Once your words are out there, you can't control how they spread or who they touch. They become part of the world and can keep having effects long after you've written them. This is why it's important to be thoughtful about what you write because your words can have long-lasting consequences.
