Words hurt

Words hurt, sometimes more than actions. When words and actions are put forth, sometimes the pain can be unbearable. I witnessed that this afternoon. I was hurt, very deeply by words and actions. I'm not going into details, but words hurt. Be careful what you say, people hang on your every word sometimes. Especially if they look up to, and respect you. Be respectful with your words. Exercise caution when you are happy and restraint when you're angry or hurt. If you can't say anything nice, don't open your mouth, because chances are, those words will not only hurt the person you're speaking them to, but you yourself. If you're wrong, admit it. When you're right, admit it. But don't demean someone when you feel they're wrong and you're right. Use your words to talk out conflicts and settle arguments. Whisper them lovingly when you are with your soul mate. Because, words can't be taken back. Once they're said, they're said and the damage is done. Hurt has been inflicted.
