It is rightly said that a tongue cuts deeper than the sword. The words once said leave a lasting impact. A person who compliments others and makes them happy with their jokes automatically becomes everyone’s favorite, but someone who always says bad words to others and always frowns and passes bad comments always will never be liked or appreciated by others. The words which once leave your mouth are like arrows that leave the bow. They cannot be brought back or reversed or stopped. Their wounds cannot be healed. No matter how much you apologize after, nothing can undo the pain and the hurt your words might do to someone they are directed.
Some people say a lot of bad things when they are angry or in the heat of the moment, and then when they cool down, they regret their decisions, but the damage has already been done, and they will never be able to reverse the words they said or the damage they did. Maybe the person forgives them, but at the back of his mind, he may never forget, and this might lead to fights and repeated abusive behavior. We must understand that our words can sometimes hurt other people badly.
We must know what we are saying and always put a filter on our mouth because we don’t know when we might press a button that might hurt the other person or trigger something which might be a soft topic for them.
To know more about this here, we listed think before you speak quotes and sayings once go through it.
