Have you ever been touched by some words in your life?

I was indeed touched by words in my life. Words can be sharper than a sword, can pierce a heart without piercing the body. At the same time, words can be spicier than a chilly, it can make one cry. I was touched by words which were spoken by a handicapped girl belonging to a NGO. She spoke about her defect, how she wanted no sympathy from others, what she wanted to become!!! I did not mind shedding a tear or two, her speech was awesome!!

i guess it was because i was teenager and quite unsure of my place in the world. it was until i read "the moment somebody offended you it means you gave them the permission to hurt you". so now, whenever i get hurt i look first at the offender and see whether we're on the same level or maybe he or she belongs to a higher level. then, if that is the case that's the only time i look deep in myself and try to figure out if he or she is right. if he or she is in a lower level than me: forget it. he or she might as well be offending a wall.

myy0220 yes words can really touch us at times like when I had fractured my shoulder and had to have a lot of physical therapy on my shoulder and had to leaRn to use a quad cane. The therapist would tell me when I said I could not walk one more step , you can always do more than you think you can so then I would walk maybe fifty feet, and he would say try five more and I made it. soon I was walking down one corridor and up another one. then when I had special exercises for my arm with the shoulder joint replacement I would get tired and say no more, he would again say you can always do more than you think you can. so I would work another ten or fifteen minutes. I have learned since then to use those words when I think I just cannot do this or that, and found I could indeed do more than I thought I could.
