A reckless tongue can pierce and kill the soul.

"Words are the only weightless thing in this world that could actually make you feel heavy."

The reckless, rash, stabbing, piercing, words uttered  has the capacity to kill the soul, making your heart and mind heavy, leaving indelible imprints that become difficult to erase. Sometimes words uttered just slice you and you feel like something dies inside of you. Tongues can make or break life, they can make marriages sweet and families strong. They can also give hope and cement understanding. It is in anger that the most acidic words pour out.  It is seldom thought what the result of those statements would be. The tongue is the only thing that cannot be tamed. 

Many of us may have at some point of our life, let out words and emotions in anger. Thinking we are giving out truest of opinions or feelings of how we feel about a situation in which we might have been involved, without thinking of the consequences of those words on the person we are hitting out at. We seldom think of what would have been the sentiment behind an action. Instead of letting our thoughts and words run wild,we rarely make an effort to think before we speak. For some it is very difficult to hold their tongue and not say what is in their minds. We should know when to try and reason out with a person, know what to say in order to avoid a problem, instead of saying what ever come to the mind. Think before speaking out.

As they say" We should learn to choose our words carefully, as we can hurt, and create a wound in others. Words...can't be taken back, once you give them away. Harsh words are like bullets: no matter what, they can still leave a painful injury. And sometimes, a sorry is not enough to heal the wounds you leave." Words sometimes cause a lot of problems, knowingly and unknowingly. It can cause a lot of stress and strain on the one it is aimed at. Think before you utter rude and harsh words. Sometimes for a person fighting life's battle, those words are enough to slice them down and make a permanent wound, like an ulcer that never heals. Don't judge anyone without knowing what a person is going through. It has the power to heal and inspire or break a person completely.
