The tongue is the deadliest weapon a person have. I always believed a physical fight is never stronger than a verbal fight. This is because a bruise will eventually go away but words will never leave a person's mind. Sometimes the things that you say can be so strong that it has the power to pierce through a person's self esteem and possibly even ruin them. There are certain things that a person say that will stay in your mind for a very long time.
Words can do so much to a person be it in a positive or a negative way. It can bring a person up and it can also push a person down. So, how you use your words plays an extremely important role in life. Words can be used to define a person. It can be good or also bad. Words. Are. That. Strong. Hit a man with your fist, he remembers you for a month. Insult a man, he remembers you for a lifetime. I think you get the point. :)
Nevertheless, we often misuse our tongue to say things that we are very well aware that will hurt a person. Yet, everyday we would do the same. So how?
We have to learn to guard our tongue. Always put your mind before your mouth. Do not speak if you are unsure of the circumstances you might face. You might surely think whatever you say will not affect anyone and also the normal teenage mind will think "NO ONE CARES". Let me tell you right now. Yes, people care. Just because you feel invisible in the eyes of others does not give you the reason to speak recklessly without your brain. You want to feel important? SHUT YOUR MOUTH or come up with something nice to say. You want to feel visible to others? Give them the reason to use words to describe good about you. This applies to every living person in the world. Do not say things that you do not mean just because you want to get noticed. It really makes a difference in your life. It also proves how shallow of a person you are.
SAY THE RIGHT THING or else SHUT UP. If you plan to say something, please ensure what you say is something productive and meaningful to others. Rather than saying things to insult a person and make them feel small, why not take up the challenge and shut your mouth for the betterment of others? You will thank yourself later. Sometimes you will realise you do not really mean what you say after you said it. But sometimes situations are in such a way where you will be in difficulty to take back what you said. Honestly, taking back what you said is the hardest thing to do because it is embarrassing and again shows how reckless of a person you are. But again, if you do not do so, you will be described as an ill mannered person or rude which in every way is bad. So shutting up is always a better option UNLESS you're being ill treated. If you are, do the right thing and protect yourself please.
All in all, this life is up to you to live. Whether you want to live a life that means the least to others or a life meaning the most to others, is really up to you. You can spend the rest of your life being the rude person that everyone shuts off after a while or you can be the person which will be remembered for a very long time. Words come and go in our lives. Good or bad, nice or not all depends on how you put them together. :)
