Words can hurt more than a sword. It's true. Physical wounds heal with time, but the pain from a harsh word can stick around. Think about a time when someone said something that really stung. Maybe it was a friend or a family member. Those words probably lingered longer than you expected. I remember when a close friend called me unreliable during an argument. That hurt more than I thought it would. I replayed those words over and over, questioning myself for days. It took a while to shake it off. So, here's a quick tip: think before you speak, especially when you're upset. Words have power, and once they're out, you can't take them back. Be kind and choose them wisely. It makes a difference.
