You eat the fruit of what you say. Now what I mean by this is that words are really just bunch of letters thrown together to describe or label somethng, but they cant do that without our help!
We (‘we’ being people in general) are the ones who place labels and judgemets on everything, it’s common nature to us to do! words cannot by themselves label someone a ‘bum’ or a ‘snob’, only we do that!
When someone says something to you say for example “You’ll never be able to do that!” in regards to any personal venture, study or activity you may wish to undertake, your confidence and belief in that falters and if you hear it often enough you’ll soon give up. I really dont think that people grasp the power of words! Not truely at least!
We hear on the news about teen suicides, where they’ve left a letter explaining why, now I have no idea what the percentage is but I’m fairly sure that a large percentage of teen suicides are believed to be due constant bullying andĀ harrassment,. I’m sure all of us has at one point snidely thought to ourselves if not said aloud ” awww poor emo kid, you’re just another sad case thats gone and offed themselves”. But do any of us ever really thnk that perhaps, they suffered so much just from what people were constantly saying to them in the sense of the derogatory, that this may have been the cause for their depression, masichistic behaivour and eventual suicide?
How many of us have ever said an unkind word/s to someone? ALL of us have at one point or another. and whether or not we witness it this has a dramatic effect on that persons future.
WE choose to label, WE choose to drag others down, WE choose to ridicule and criticise. WE are to blame, for giving words the power to do so much damage!
If you think about all the times someone has told you, that you cant do something and you didnt believe them and kept on trying and trying until you got there. Then you’re freeĀ from others controlling you’re existence because you refuse to believe that you can’t, you believe that you can!
Tell someone every day when they start to doubt themselves that they CAN do it; to just believe! And you’ll witness amazing things! The power of words is greater than anyone could ever conceive!
