As for inanimate things such as words, pictures, songs, literature, events and concepts.....I will agree with you there. They all have meaning, they are in essence a loaded gun and it is up to the individual whether or not to empower them or to ignore them.
People on the other hand are animate, they have a mind of their own, they make conscious decisions and control their own destiny. Granted that many times ignoring a person or persons will achieve the result needed, but in some cases ignoring the problem only emboldens the problem.
