looking back, the arguments we had last time with our families and friends all seem so trivial as compared to the problems we face now, and maybe in the future.
in fits of anger, it is common knowledge that we all say things we do not mean. given our individual characters or personalities, some of us are harsher, some of us not so.
but it has never been accepted that words spurted out can be brushed off just because it was an emotional moment.
when we grow older, our words take on more power, wider vocabulary, but they all seem intent on one goal: to hurt. and usually, these goals are reached.
but at what cost? words out of our mouths can never be swallowed back. and some words follow others throughout a long period of time.
growing older should be proportional to wisdom. the wiser we are, the more responsible we are. careless callous word uttered, consequences happen.
but oh my, so many of us, are unable to deal with the unpleasant repercussions. and given the immaturity of many, it just simply leads to more finger pointing, and a whole vicious cycle begins again.
exercise the willpower and discipline to think before speaking. difficult, and yes, sometimes you feel the urge to unleash the anger, but it only reflects the ugly side of you, and you must always remember how it affects the people around you, whether directly or indirectly involved.
