Words cut like a knife… unless that we don’t bleed. Yes, I’ve learned that. The more we interact with people, the more likely we’ll be in a situation where words knock us down or we stab people with our words, deliberately or not ;) But the older we get, of course we hope we’ll say less hurting words to others, if we can help it.

Unfortunately, life is not always what we want it to happen. Today was my turn when I was stabbed by some silly words commented by a friend. I am sure he said those words jokingly but still I couldn’t help but felt a bit hurt. Not long, though, coz I’ve learned so much about these things. I’ve learned not to shape up my life based on what people comment on it. What do they know about my life, anyway? ("It’s my life…." try to sing like Bon Jovi) Now I am feeling like laughing out loud about what my ‘heartless’ friend just said…haha!  

I am not perfect, either. In my jokes, I am sure I have hurt others unintentionally. I just hope I don’t make it as a habit. Somehow I must learn to just shut up!

Can words hurt you?
