The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. Well shit, ain’t this the truth. Words are so powerful.
Simply put, words are game changers because once said they can be forgiven but never forgotten.
Words can impact people in many places…the soul, the heart, the mind and not just on the surface of each but into the extreme core of these places.
Words can create the most incredible feeling, whether incredibly beautiful or incredibly hurtful. We all remember our parents, teachers, family saying:
“Think before you speak”
“If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all”
I used to be a strong believer of saying what you think whether negative or positive because holding back will only hurt you in the long run. Now I’m not sure if I agree anymore; maybe some thoughts and some feelings should be left unsaid.
My new rule: IS IT NECESSARY?
Words…. a fruit or a poison, you choose.
