WORDS

Recently something happened which got me wondering about the impact of carelessly chosen words on the feelings of others.

Sometimes, although we try our best to say things clearly and carefully choose our words, they still end up hurting the feelings of people around. What more when words are carelessly spoken.

In our conviction that we are on the right track, we trample upon the sensitivities of others, at times, unintentionally and at others, knowingly, deliberately. Unkind words tumble out of our mouths. These are times we forget that there are two sides to a coin. Wisdom is to recognise these moments and agree to disagree.

It is difficult to admit it when this happens. Should the perpetrator apologize or simply dismiss the idea of apologizing as preposterous?

Never underestimate the power of words.
Say the word and heal/bridge the divide.


LIFE IS TOO SHORT!
