Words, they kill people..

Yes words kill... All acts of violence begin with a thought and then the word is spoken from one to another. Harsh, abusive and critical words activate the primitive 'fight or flight' mechanism in people and for those who do not run from harsh words, they stand to fight, abuse, wound, hurt, destroy and kill in return for the words that hurt them... Underestimating the power of our words to change the world around us is the mistake we as human being should avoid making whenever possible. I am not saying we should measure each word we speak, only be aware of the power of your words and be responsible for the consequences that your words and the words of others bring into your life.
