Words. They are so powerful. The impact they can cause with or without having been filtered by the brain.
We often act in that moment or would just speak without giving much thought only to fulfil our desires or satisfy our wants. Words? How much do they really mean when they flow through out of our mouth? How much do they matter to us? Or the other party? Do we even bother about much the other party would feel?
I have come to realise that people only say what they feel in that moment or rather, they tell you what you wish to hear. They don't speak the truth anymore. They don't make promises they can keep for the long run, knowing that they have the ability to.
They make promises to assure you in that moment. They make promises to prove their point in that moment. They make promises to show you how "sincere" they are.
Yet, at the end of the day, those words are nothing but gibberish. Those words aren't even worth a single cent or anything less than the worth of a dump. Those words are only to said to deceive and to cause misery.
I can understand if people were very much assure of how much they can keep a certain promise or mean what they have said to someone however, I can never understand those who know that they cannot keep a promise or do not mean what they say.
Those words are like needles. Needles that prick that your heart each time you think of how you believed every word and was so hopeful. Those wounds that the needles made, will then become scars and soon enough, the one that's hurt would never believe another word with fear that it would be another needle instead of honey.
Of course, it isn't necessary to speak only sugar coated words. But is it that hard to only say what you mean and to only speak of the truth? Is it that hard to not lie and hide the truth? Lies and hidden truth will always destroy everything and nothing will ever be able to fix the broken pieces.
So yes, watch your words. Filter your thoughts as you speak. Better yet, before you even speak, give your 2 cents a few thoughts on how impactful it is. If it isn't your place to speak, not worthy 2 cents, then zip and walk away. Never make promises that you can't keep. Never speak of something/someone so greatly when you're not even sure of how you will feel about it/him/her tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, month, year, years ahead.
Don't be the reason why people are afraid of trusting someone else, afraid of speaking to people, afraid that everyone would be the same, or the reason why they want to be left alone.
Don't destroy someone with your 2 cents.
