    We should never spill our words hurting others

    While talking to others or handling situations, we should never spill our words hurting others. Many people I am seeing spilling words harshly to others without thinking the effect of such utterance. The person we utter on other will kill him mentally as anything. Many people I am seeing hurting other for having no children etc., these words will last till her death though it has been spill casually.
    I read one story in this connection. An old man who spend his lifetime by sitting idle in the house comments badly on his neighbor man who is working as a casual driver and he go for work as and when he receive calls. The old man spread a news that that casual driver is going and coming in odd hours and he might be go for stealing something. It got spread and police also took him for some other case on suspicion. This affect badly for this driver's job also. He took this matter to court. A learned Judge called both. On enquiry, the old man accepted his sayings and asked for apology but told Judge he did not understand how his words affected him badly. The judge asked the old man to write his sayings about the man, in a paper. He did so. Read judge asked the old man to tear off the paper into bits and put outside. He did so and come inside. He told the Judge whether he can go out, then. Judge accepted but asked him to bring the paper bits he thrown outside. He accepted and gone but collected some bits of the same what he thrown. He told Judge the same. Judge told him, 'Dear you cannot able to collect the paper bits what you yourself thrown outside. Now when you go to collect back you cannot get back fully as they spread out, similar to that you cannot collect back your words you spilt out.'

    A slip of the tongue can't be withdrawn. Even though we say sorry for the wrong words, the damage that will be done by these words, can't be completely repaired. It is very easy to twist the tongue as there is no bone in the tongue.
    So we have to think before we utter something. Some People who are in power think that they can talk as they like. But they will understand the pinch only when somebody uses the same words towards them. So always think before we utter something. But many people, even well-educated also, use very bad words when they are angry.

    I know a young man who is the MD of a company. His father is the Chairman. Oneday, MD used very unparliamentary words against a senior employee who is the age of MD's father. The senior employee got hurt and discontinues the job but before getting relieved he strongly replied to the MD saying that one should respect age and seniority also before we speak with very senior persons in the organisation.

    Very nice parable teaching how to be mindful of the words that are spoken. Once spelled, they cannot be taken back.

    A good advisory by the author. There is an old saying - Weigh your tongue before you speak.
    We have to be cautious while using words especially when we talk aggressively with another person. In a bout of anger, people use some unparliamentary words which hurt the other person especially when people had good relations between them before that incident.
