Hi readers!
Welcome to my page!
And now I shall start
talking.
Sometimes I wonder if people’s
brains are connected to their tongues or not. Or maybe they just cannot hear
themselves talking. Why I think like that, you ask? Well I am pretty sure that
you would have heard people saying hurtful things to you like its nothing. They
assume they are talking normally when in fact they are shooting arrows at you
with your words.
And they seem to be
completely unaware of it! They just keep doing this and wonder why nobody likes
them. Or maybe they don’t wonder at all. They just live in their own world,
happily throwing stones at others. Who is going to talk to them? How are they
going to learn that they have to think before they speak!
It’s funny how they have no
idea that they are hurting people at all! They might even go ahead and lecture
you on social skills! They are that ignorant!
Well I don’t think that I
have to assume, but all of us have been that person at least once in our lives.
We have intentionally or unintentionally hurt someone with our words. And that
make me real sad.
I have learnt it the hard
way not to hurt people with my words. Once I realized that I was being mean, I
had to educate myself (because unfortunately there are no classes on “how not to
be a mean person”). Believe me it is not fun to think every time before you
talk. And I am not telling you that I am the master of ‘talking nice’. I am
still a work in progress. But at least I have realized what I was doing was
wrong and the next step was just learning how to correct my mistake.
Proverbs 12:18 says “Rash language cuts and
maims, but there is healing in the words of the wise.” (The
Message Translation). How awesome it would be if we could just
learn how to talk nice to people. It is high time that we all realize that our
words have huge impact on the people around. The words we speak cannot be taken
back. We cannot apologies forever and neither is everyone going to give us
second chance. We have to correct ourselves now before it is too late.
I mean, it takes us 2 years
or more to learn to speak and then forever to speak nice. But I am pretty sure it’s
not impossible.
There is a lot I want to
speak on this topic. But I really love my blogs to be short. So I am going to
continue on this topic in future posts.
So to sum up this post, Next
time we say anything let us ask ourselves if it will hurt the other person or
not, and then talk. If what we are about to say is going to be hurtful lets
think twice and not say it at all. And if you must confront the other person do
it in such a way that the other person is convicted of his actions and not
convinced of you being a rude person and then shut you off forever thereby you
loosing the opportunity of correcting that person ever. Remember to choose your
words wisely.
Loads of Love to you my
readers!
