There’s an old saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me”. Well I now REALIZE that old saying couldn’t be further from the truth. Words hurt very much. They originate from someplace within and when spoken they can have a devastating effect on another human being.
Throughout history we find many teachings on watching our tongue and the spoken word having POWER. Our subconscious picks up on the things you say, whether to yourself or others. There are so many different ways we can deliver what we say to other human beings, our tonality, facial expression and body language. We often take for granted this power that we have. Whether we are trying to prove a point or maliciously trying to hurt another human being.
I believe we should forget about the old saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” and remember and embrace “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.
I REALIZE how powerful WORDS are. Watch your tongue, speak great words, spread great seeds to others and give birth to new thoughts.
