Today I saw first hand how the power of words can be both detrimental and positive. Sometimes I have to stand back and watch what is going on without interjecting as much as I may want to. Years ago before I became ill I would jump to get in the middle of an argument. I loved the debate, loved the rush from trying to prove my point. Now I have to be careful of how riled up I get for fear of having a full out flare up that will affect my entire family.
With that being said I also can see how hard it is to turn the other cheek and walk away. Sometimes things touch so close to home that it makes it difficult to forgive and forget. We are all human but what we say can make us no better than the animals we call ourselves superior to.
I wish I didn’t have to choose. I wish I didn’t have to step away. I wish there was no need to make a choice. I wish people would realize the power that what they say can have. Instead of being destructive we should be positive and make changes. Instead of being nasty, we should be uplifting.
To bad we can’t use that power to make a difference!
