Double edged words

It is worthy of notice that some key words have a double edged meaning.

If I remember correctly, someone said: change, we can.

Oh well, change.

To illustrate its double edge, I'd like to tell a story, so to speak, I often heard from my mother (forgive me, but I'll have to translate from Italian): that of a gravestone, on which was written

"I was all right, to get better, here I am."
