Like any other tool, a word serves the purpose for which it is used. With a word, spoken or written, we can cheer or hurt someone, such is its power. These concepts, of good and evil, are part of our daily lives, but Plato already said that all human beings aspire to the archetype of Good, and hence, evil is only the absence of the former.
Words were created by the need to express phenomena, symbols and often complex concepts. The interpretation of them derives from our experiences and how much we can read in them.  Thus, just as the purest water springs from the source, so the purity of the intention of words is born in each one.
