Be absolutely careful with your words

Words are more treacherous and powerful than we think.
         - Jean-Paul Sartre


Have you ever dropped something so hurtful at someone? Have you ever got so angry that you intentionally said heartbreaking words to a loved one? Do you think insulting jokes are funny? 

We all have to check twice whatever comes out of our mouth. I am not being a hypocrite, I may sometimes be so opinionated that I become tactless, but I know how it is like to be a victim of words that incredibly hurt.


I'm the kind of person who just laugh it all off. Someone jokingly insults me, and I just shrug it off. I laugh with them and PRETEND I think whatever the hell they're talking about is funny. When in reality, it hurts and it is not even half of what I consider a funny joke. I just pretend. I don't want any wars, so I put up with these kind of people. You may be well-liked by everyone, but once you have a stupid sarcastic mouth, I'd really really dislike you. I like some people who are sarcastic. But only those ones who are sensitive with my feelings. Those who are WISE ENOUGH to make sarcasm look like a philosophical statement. I really really wonder how some people think they're making other people laugh by hurting another one's feelings instead. I mean, are they just that insecure and shallow? Don't they have sensitivity and values to look up to? Seriously.. These kind of people get on my nerves. YOU ARE NOT FUNNY IF YOU TAKE OTHER PEOPLE AS INSTRUMENTS OF YOUR INHUMANE JOKES. Go on and make fun of others. Go bully others. But once it's your turn, you'd be sorry as hell that you never learned to put a zip on your incautious mouth. You never know what one is capable of. Those who suppress their feelings are the ones who are the most powerful. Do you want to wait for the moment somebody takes their revenge on you? No one wants that. So please, do not ever try to hurt others through your jokes. You just don't how much they hurt. 


I am aware of bullying and I am deeply against it. Please do not verbally abuse others just because it makes you feel good. Please think of the many problems they already have. Do not add up to it. HAVE SOME EMPATHY. Put yourself on their shoes. Would you like being picked on? Would you liked to be teased everyday of your life? It's never too late to realize our actions.. 


"Do unto others what you want others to do unto you." A simple golden rule.
