Words are sharper than swords, in fact swords is made up of SharpWORDS. "S" from sharp and "WORDS".
I've read this story somewhere which I like to share with you.
There was a boy, he was very rude to everyone around him. Everyone in that village didn't like him. One day, his father want him to realize how his words have hurt everyone.
His father proposed to him that everyone he said something that hurts a person, he must nail a nail on the wooden fence outside of his house, once the wooden fence is full of nails he has to return to his father for further instruction..
The boy followed exactly what his father told him to, after 1 year, he found out that the wooden fence is full of nails. Only then, he realized he has hurt many people over the course of 1 year. His father then asked him to plug a nail every time he managed to uphold the word that he knew was going to hurt someone. Again, the boy followed exactly what his father told him.
After 2 years, he finally managed to plug all the nails on the wooden fence. He then go to his father telling his fahter how proud he was. His father then turn to him and say, "Although you managed to plug all the nails from the wooden fence, you still leave a hole on the fence."
Moral of this story: Think before you speak, and be careful with your words, the wound that you caused with your words may always stay.
