WORDS 2-12-17
Words uttered by others
can be encouraging or damaging.
An incident happened to
me in which words were thrown at me in a judgmental, cruel way.
Maybe the person had
the intention of reasoning with me.
Maybe she meant to
explain an issue to me from her point of view.
Her choice of words
sounded more like self-righteous judgements that when she tossed them at me, in
effect, I felt degraded, humiliated and hurt.
Please use care when
talking to people.
You may think you have
the right to humiliate, scold, correct or even tell a person what you think,
from your limited and biased stand point.
You do not have that
right!
If you have nothing to
do with a situation or don’t truly know what is going on, do not feel the need
to get involved.
Don’t feel the unjust
need to correct, or scold someone, that does not need correcting or scolding
from you, especially by tearing him or her down, costing them their pride and
dignity.
Words can do much harm.
Words can also be a
source of encouragement, strength, happiness and love.
Please, be careful how
you talk to your fellow human being.
Whatever you may do in
life and wherever you are: “Choose to use words of kindness and encouragement
to everyone.”
This quote is
appropriate: “If you can’t help me,
don’t hurt me!”
With sincerity, love,
prayers and forgiveness,
