Think twice before you speak.

Speaking is a means of expressing our ideas, thoughts. It is the most widely used type of communication. But sometimes it may also lead to disasters and destruction since there is a saying: “Words cut more than swords.” which is a very good saying because sometimes one can hurt another so much using words. A person can even murder some other with words; in this case the murder weapon is a word. Because the sword can be used in destruction; but words can both lead to the destruction and also heal the deepest wounds. So, it is very important how we use words. If we hurt someone with a sword the pain is physical and it diminishes in long run but if we hurt a person with words the pain is always intact there. An arrow cannot come back once it left. Likewise, we cannot take back the words we have spoken. We give so much trouble to ourselves with our existing knowledge and informational background that this knowledge and informational background is not enough to solve these problems and eliminate that trouble we have got ourselves in. Most of the time, we cause all these troubles with our own tongue and words.

You can change other’s minds with words by persuading them in the kindest ways which is more important and much more successful than constraining other’s will by force. But with your words also one should be so careful in order not to hurt any feelings or make false accusations about innocent people.

So be careful with your words once they are said they can only be forgiven not forgotten.
