Hurting words are like two edged sword. Too much hurt because of our words.

There's a saying the tongue has no bones but it can break many. You don't need to hit or stab a person to hurt him. A simple word is enough to hurt him/her. Every one should know the value of each individual before uttering any word in disrespect. The opposite person is just like you who wishes to be respected. It's always good to never use any word or deed in disrespect.

Hi, You are right. Hurting words are like two edged sword. the harsh or rude words make deep wounds to our heart. They are very difficult to heal. We should use our words carefully. We should think before using words. we can not take words back.

Words that are left from mouth cannot be taken back. I think words can do magic. The can really motivate others and also they can make others feel bad and hurt others. I think one should always use words carefully.

Words definitely are the worst weapon of all. A physical wound can heal fast, but words stay in our memories and minds for a very long time. And I totally get your point too that its not just something that is meant to hurt someone, it can hurt just to get rude little comments from someone, where they could phrase something in a polite manner but instead they decide to be rude and demeaning, that is just wrong and irks me very badly.

a pleasant day fatimaobien, what you have written is absolutely true. improper use of words can really destroy relationship. plus if the intonation on how it was delivered, then, it will definitely bring a commotion. hence, it is best to rephrase those words before delivering it, as this might bring a not so good effect to both parties after sometime. and if i may add, there is one passage has been shared to me before, and it goes like this, "if you don't have any good thing to say, then, it is better to keep quiet rather than to speak and hurt somebody's feelings".

I'm really in accord with the writer here. According to me poor choice of words can make someone prone to trouble in spite of whatever intentions the speaker had. Moreover one must never use words if they are unsure of its true meanings. A friend of mine wanted to display his respect towards his teacher for his guidance, and he said "Sir, its all because of your instigation I've accomplished this success". Now here instigation is not a correct word, instead of this inspiration not only would've made the sentence meaningful but valuable and memorable for a mentor.
