Words cut sharper than the Sword!

“For the word is quick and powerful Sharper than any two-edged sword

Piercing even to the dividing asunder Of soul and spirit

Of joints and marrow It is a discerner of the thoughts

And intents of the heart”― Amy Harmon, The Bird and the Sword

“Words cut deeper than knives. A knife can be pulled out, words are embedded into our souls.”― William Chapman

Words are so sharp that they can tear your bodies and souls both! It can mean that the person has been very emotionally hurt by whatever has been said. It can also mean that the person has been very emotionally hurt by whatever has been said about him. Have you ever stopped to think that what you say to another person even as a joke has deeper and longer lasting consequences? Did it ever occur to you that when you make broad sweeping statements without considering your audience you are inflicting emotional pain on a fellow human beings?

 How many times have you heard one of your friends, or even yourself very casually (not being judgemental here please) say, "if that girl could lose some weight, those jeans would make her look better"? I know it all seems so harmless, but I think it’s time we put a stop to such comments. These whispered comments often have a way of getting back to people, and the damage can be unforeseen. The saying ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’ is not true.

We all know that god has made each and everyone of us just the way we are. We have no right to call another individual anything less than perfect. If we insult one another, we are insulting God’s work. Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created human beings, making them to be like himself.” We are made in the image of God, and there is absolutely no way that be can be ugly. The only imperfections we have can come from within, and we have no right to judge one another on these. The beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder right? then why are we throwing such casual words to pierce through someone's heart straightway.

I would like to quote from this beautiful poem "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes

"I thought that I've been hurt before

But no one's ever left me quite this sore

Your words cut deeper than a knife

Now I need someone to breathe me back to life"

So, the next time you see someone who you don’t believe to be beautiful, just remember they are beautiful in the eyes of God. Choose to see the beauty in every individual instead of being quick to point out their flaws. Outward beauty and fast metabolisms fade, but if you have beauty within, that will stay forever. We need to battle the unfair expectations of beauty that has been thrown on women, not try to shame others by insane diets and cruel words. There is a difference between trying to be healthy and trying to fit in. Don’t make each other cross this line.

Be happy with what you have got and you have no right to criticise any one person on their colour of skin or hair or whatever physical attributes the person has in the looks because we can't see the beautiful heart and lovely mind that this person has because beauty is only skin deep and words can cut through the skin easily like a sharp knife.

Don't use your words which would hurt or harm any one, all souls are lovable and loving for all of us in this world, let us make this planet a beautiful place to live in.
