Sticks and stones may break my bones but Words will break my soul. A break bone can heal, but the sound of word opens can fester forever.
Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble. Words can build up or they can tear down.
