Words

​Do not simply state that “some people are just too touchy” or “too sensitive.” Yes, words are simply words. We all know that. But words create language and language portrays meaning. If that meaning is not given carefully, and given to the wrong person, it could very well be the last thing that they hear. Speak softly, for some people have not been hardened by the world- they have been broken. Give compassion, for some people have yet to see such a thing in their lives, and give empathy. Maybe to you, words are just simple consonants and vowels put together to make a sentence, but to someone else, they could be the bullets in an already contemplated loaded gun. People are people. People are who they are because of what they have gone through. So are you. Give them the change to change the ending of their story.
