Words can be as sharp as the blade of a razor.
They can hurt us, and some of them cut durable wounds in our soul. Words can hurt the same as physical violence.
It hurts that more if someone hurts us we trusted.
The fading or even healing of that kind of wounds takes a lot of time.
Each wound leaves a scar that remains forever.
We can not feel them by touching like wounds on the skin.
Wounds of our skin fade with the time and the most of them will also disappear completely.
Not so the scars in our soul. Always, if a similar situations come up again, they ask us to be careful, not to trust too early, not so quick to believe in flattering words. We stay alert and alarmed. It keeps us suspiciously, and that isn't good for relation-or friendships.
We should be aware of the might of our words. The same as we can be hurt, we can hurt others the same way.

Thanks, Zivi.
I think you know that German proverb: Wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so kommt es auch wieder heraus."
For non-German speakers: (analogous translated, because I don't know if there exist a similar English proverb), it means:
"As so as you call into the forest, comes it out in the same way."
Thanks again, dear Svitlana. But please...dont praise me too much, I could become conceited...LOL!
Hi shane, thanks for reading and commenting my blog. I am glad to hear you liked it.
Hi, Zivi!
Please don't be sorry. I got you. :)
Hi Rose.....great blog as we have come to expect from you, thank you ........the tongue being touted the most unruly part of our bodies......and likened unto a two-edged sword shows how powerful this little member is considered to be. On the other hand.....it is but the messenger. So I do not consider the tongue as the culprit. I do agree that once the tongue has become involved......it is extremely difficult to ever forget what it has relayed. I don't know why we turn to hurtful words.......I guess it says something about our hearts. Someone asked me why at times I would talk ugly.......I laughingly said it was to keep from killing people. We have all at one time or the other found ourselves on the receiving end of hurtful words.......and that isn't going to change most likely......and we may be able to forgive.....but we may not be able forget. So.....this is a lesson that is badly needed.......that once those words have passed our lips.....the damage is done and we may not see that person in the same light as we did before. To me it is a no win situation for them or for us.

Very true, these are the feelings from a 'hurt' heart.
I always say, "never have expectations from anyone. In deprivation the heart will remain in-affected, otherwise it hurt badly."
There is a proverb is my native language: WOUND OF A SPEAR CAN BE HEALED, BUT WOUND BY THE TONGUE NEVER HEALED.
Thanks for reviving our wisdom.
Be blessed always.
Hi Rose, yep I got scared, too, though he didn´t tell really what his wishes were.
Anyway you hit the nail on the head with your blog again. Great one.
Hi svitlana, and sorry, I made such a silly and pessimistic joke on your first comment here. You are perectly right, what you grant others usually comes back to you like a boomerang.
Oops!!! Zivi!
Sometimes It can happen. Hahaha. People don't expect to get in return what they sent.
It is my pleasure, dear Rose.
I love your blogs. I am always pleased to read them. The wise thoughts from the intelligent person. :)
Warmest wishes to you, dear.
hi, Rose. I do agree with your idea. usually we hurt our family members with the words. after reading, i should try to tell my family not to use the bad words any more. thank you for sharing your ideas.
