So here I am in this huge ponder...one that so many feel very strongly about! Words...can you just throw them out there at random and then decide you want to take them back? Or once you put them out there...do they stay and linger in someones mind forever? This is one of those things that I feel so strongly about. I can feel and see only my side of it, only my point of view about giving words. My thoughts are so clear on it, no grey area for me. But could it be that I am so passionate about it that my judgement is clouded? Can someone really be so in the moment, so un-focused that they say something out of haste? Something that they later want to take back or say they didn't mean? Does "I'm sorry" make it all better? Does it change the way that it made you feel?
Questions...these are all the questions that come to my mind when I wonder about the power of words. That's it, words have so much power! A bruise will heal, and a cut will mend but words can linger on forever. And that's what makes them so dangerously powerful. They can make you smile, make you happy, make you sad, and even make you hurt. Just 1 word can change your emotion in an instant!
They are not tangible, you cannot hold them or touch them...yet words can be felt so deeply. And therefore I don't think they can be taken back. Through your mouth they were given and through your hands they cannot be taken back. Words are a powerful gift that we've each been given....one that should be used the way we intend the first time. Taking them back or trying to change the way they were delivered is very hard after the fact!
