“Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.”
Lashing out, saying things in anger, yelling, name calling, demeaning, putting someone down…all of these things create wounds that are far slower to heal than a physical wound and they leave emotional scars behind that never quite go away. That is why it is so important to be mindful of the words we say to people. Our words can be the most powerful tool we have for good or they can be the most powerful tool of destruction. The choice is up to us.
