Some of us can be good with words, some of us just cannot.
What just crossed my mind a while ago was, we all have our own way of communicating. I mean, as you have noticed, some people may use a lot of swear words as compared to others.
Also, people may have different ways of arguing. The majority may try to yell louder in comparison to the others and the minority may possibly lower their voice. Several people might just let the opposing party win because they absolutely hate arguing. I, for one, elude from arguments.
What I want to point out is that, some people use unnecessary words, make insensitive comments that are completely uncalled for. For example, a little Facebook comment here and there, just criticizing a person for doing absolutely nothing. Or maybe a few comments made at school. About that individual being of a certain race, or looking the way they do. What some people don't understand is the resounding chorus they go home with. The clear wounding words creeping into their head when they look at themselves in the mirror. The hurtful words echoing back at them when they're about to run for something.
What people don't understand is how hurtful, painful, spiteful, torturous, words can be.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." I clearly know what this means, but I just wanted to google it for you guys. This is what I got:
"Prov. You do not hurt me by calling me names. (A reply to someone who has called you names. Primarily used by children; sounds childish when used by adults.)"
So, as you can see, this is is more of a quote used to help kids get through a few 'You're stupid' and childish comments.
Tell me, be frank, does it really have no effect whatsoever? Nothing? Nobody has ever said anything that actually hit that heart of yours?
I'm sure you must have had at least one incident in your life in which someone said something that got to you.
Anyway, think of that and tell me words don't hurt. They certainly do.
Words are significant, be careful how you use them.
