An enemy or friend - 'Words'?
Words are as mighty as a sword that is so easy to generate but holds eternal power in them. These words can pierce a person's heart or, on the other hand, can boost them in the toughest of situations! We should always contemplate the usage of them solely due to the effect they can have on the people they convey a message to.
The issue, however, lies in humans that they often use them without giving it a second thought. These at the moment, uttered words go on to sting the individual at the receiving end for quite some time.
Give it a thought if cracks occur in relation solely due to something which was entirely in our control called words, it is quite painful. Often disgust for someone comes out in the form of words and causes such a wide gap that people take to their grave.
What is the point of staying adrift in this one life God grants you if you know that individual has done so much for you when you jog down your memory lane?
When we are in a position of power, be it something as simple as a child taking care of your old parent, we notice that the tone and the words become authoritarian. We always need to remember that we need to speak gently irrespective of our equation with the listener.
Is it more satisfying to an individual to stake years of relationship to utter a few harsh words whose consequences they know?
On the other side of the horizon, we observe that this drug can bring out the best in a person down and out. When nothing seems to be going right in life, it is those motivational pearls from someone who cares dearly for you that lights up the path initially filled with darkness. The once setting sun can again rise with renewed energy all because of this backbone called words.
It is good to have this in the back of your mind: You do not lose anything by speaking gently to everyone, but you can wreak havoc the other way around. The choice is yours...
**The poem used here is Speak Gently, written by David Bates.

Speak gently! – It is better far
To rule by love, than fear –
Speak gently – let not harsh words mar
The good we might do here!

Speak gently! – 't is a little thing
Dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy, which it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.
