The Importance of Words

Have you ever heard: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me? This makes for a great rhyme, but I don't think there's truth in the saying. Words can really hurt. They can damage relationships, hurt feelings, and it destroys self-esteem. Our words are important and they can impact the lives of others. It's important to watch what we say and make sure that they uplift the lives of the people around us.
