A farmer insulted his neighbor. Realizing his mistake, he went to the preacher to ask for forgiveness. The preacher told him to take a bag of feathers and drop them in the center of town. The farmer did as he was told.
Then the preacher asked him to go and collect the feathers and put them back in the bag. The farmer tried but couldn’t as the feathers had all blown away. When he returned with the empty bag, the preacher said, “The same thing is true about your words.
Advice:
You dropped them rather easily but you cannot retrieve them, so be very careful in choosing your words.

1. The post is amazing. The story is short, simple yet full of impact.
2. We all have been there when we use harsh words though we didn’t mean them and sometimes we do mean them.
3. For me, whenever I did that I realised it the very moment after saying so. After that I either apologize for what I said or I let the other person take out their heart out on me, irrespective how harsher they grew.

However, I would like to support your claim on this post of yours.

Choose your words wisely! There is nothing more powerful than words. They have a power to influence others.
So, one should take care of the following points:
1. “Watch your words”
words are powerful and communicate what we desire and how we are perceived.
2. Monitor them- Are we aware of the message they may send out and what we may bring back in as a result?
3. Words are so powerful and reflect our thoughts. So, think twice before speaking.
And, even if I say anything wrong so I am loyal to my fault. I apologize immediately. 😊

I was raised to be very aware of my words. They can give life or tear down! Since I blog, I deal in words and realize how important they are. We can encourage others with just a simple word or statement. I always pray that “the words of my mouth will be pleasing in GOD’S sight.” Unfortunately Social Media has given people a “voice” to say whatever they want without consequences. The saddest story I have ever heard was about a girl who committed suicide and her note said…….”I am doing this because he said…..”
Words can kill and destroy. Let us all think before we speak, think before we comment and respond only with compassion and love for one another! Our words can speak life into someone and they show our true character!

My idea of the topic is fairly simple. When I do – and I’m fully aware of my blunt honesty and sarcastic nature – say something, the responsibility lies within. Words are tools and also weapons or bullets if we’re using them in the right context, when the guilt comes by it means it went too far, but for someone who breaks taboo and says the truth – either brutal or not – the strength and responsibility have to be in place.

If it means I can remain who I am, well, need to take it. The path I have chosen as I was born with traits off the margin.

I agree to that part, me too I have used words that are not appealing to the ears, use vulgar words to tarnish someone image in a discussion. But this words can’t be retrieved after been spoken by the person.

Words can build and at the same time destroy. Like u said…. “once said, can never be retrieved”.
I know how much hurtful words can tear one apart I have been a witness to that. And I feel guilty and hurt when I utter hurtful words to someone because I know how it feels.
But like it is…we only realise we did wrong…when we said the words already😅😅.
So I learned to take a pause, and shut my mouth and mind, and then count 1 to 10 within me, before I can give a response to someone who’s dishing out hurtful words to me.

Thank you! I appreciate your thoughtful comment on my blog. Am happy you have to comment on it.
You not the only one experiencing such things I have said some nasty and hurtful words to people.
I will have to follow that method of not saying hurtful words when ever someone try to make me angry as you said in your comment:
“”””So I learned to take a pause, and shut my mouth and mind, and then count 1 to 10 within me, before I can give a response to someone who’s dishing out hurtful words to me. “”””

Sure I have USED negative words on people but the more I grow the wiser I become. I try not to put those little things that do not add any impact in my heart. Besides, silence is the best answer a fool deserves so I don’t need to talk. I only talk once in a while. My dad is a pastor so we don’t speak in ungodly manners. Thank you Mr Patrick, I am miss Laura.
Peace and love.

I just skimmed through your reply to the question put after you. And I must say, it really cool as you said.
Am really in love with this part where you said :
“””” I try not to put those little things that do not add any impact in my heart. Besides, silence is the best answer a fool deserves so I don’t need to talk. “”””
Am in total agreement with this one. Am touched by that word. SILENCE is just the best answer. Am not a talking or argument type. So the best thing I do is IGNORE and keep SILENCE.
Going further in to your reply, as a pastor daughter you have to live an example so that youths or congregations in your father church could copy.
Thanks for responding back. I appreciate your views on this post Miss Laura.

Wonderful short story / flash fiction which reads like a powerful parable.
There’s not much you can do to take back what you’ve said or what you’ve written. I suppose you can always apologise to lessen the hurt and try to repair the damage done somehow.
Fortunately, most people are forgiving if the apology is timely and sincere.

I totally agree with this point of yours:
“”””””‘ There’s not much you can do to take back what you’ve said or what you’ve written. I suppose you can always apologise to lessen the hurt and try to repair the damage done somehow. “””””””’
Apology is the best option to settle it. Not easy to admits that he/she is wrong. One thing about humans is that they find it to accept they wrong.
Am happy you gave me an insight on this post. Apology is all we need.
Thanks for commenting. I appreciate your views on this post.

1. Have you used any negative words on someone?

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.

Wow, this is a heavy one! Look at all that weight in a little post. In my opinion, I think this story is as factual as it can get.
It will be a lie to say one has never used harsh words. I have and in the heat of the moment, I never realise it. However, I always apologize, when I am wrong. Sorry is a very powerful word and has heavy impact, so i use it but never abuse it.
Home and self training is everything. I can say for a fact, that, I go mute than pass judgement. So i drink loads of water
