"sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" its a lie. perhaps a lie told in the name of self-defense or self-conviction. either way, its not true. words do leave scars. scars so deep, sometimes, that they pierce right into the very sore spot that never seems to be completely healed. simple words, either said with full intention or otherwise, could either make a person, or break one. yes, this is an overstatement. but it still matters. if not, why would they keep encouraging people to praise others? why do people always say "think before you speak", or "choose your words wisely"? never underestimate the power of that few miserable words. its almost painful how we always tell others not to take what others say too seriously. its painful because we know that idea is simply bordering on the fringe of impossibility. its similar to how we would say "try to do...", or "try not to...". the key word here being "try". this simple three letters word could have the potential to make a whole lot of difference. words would always count. what people say always matter. no matter how much we try to tell ourselves to just ignore, to just take it how ever little pinch of salt, others' words always matter. always. perhaps the only difference is the extent to which it matters. oh well. this is just going to be another one of those random and insignificant rants, because i know i'm going to continue telling people to "not take others words too seriously", "try to just ignore them" yada yada. aye, life does not suck. no it doesnt, but it could be full of ironies. facade-x reminiscing 00:36 + + + |
