Words Hurt
I'm sure we have all heard the saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" but they truth is that words hurt. People fail to realize that what they say and how they say it can hurt someones feelings. Words begin to hurt someone because they begin to alter the way they view themselves and often times that can lead to their self esteem dropping. Phrases that that devalue or demean you hurt as well. These phrases let people know they don't care what they do or makes them feel like a fool sometimes. At the end of the day we all need to work on what we say to one another and how we say it because believe it or not words do hurt.

I totally agree with you in that words can really hurt people more than they know. You never know what someone may be going through especially if they hide it well. So if you say something "off the cuff", hurtful, or offensive it may be causing them irreversible damage. I believe if you are going to say something to someone especially someone you may not know very well or even if you do say something nice or positive, you never know how much it may mean or may give someone hope or the sense that someone cares. I believe if you can't say anything nice to someone its better to keep your mouth shut, but that is just my opinion.
