Karma
We often underestimate the power that simple words can hold. We throw them around carelessly, taking little stock in how much damage they can cause. The massive effect they can have when we truly believe in what we are saying. But all the same, we are taught from a young age that words are merely noise that we can choose to ignore and POOF- they disappear. No harm, no foul. The old adage, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” was something I heard repeatedly throughout childhood. It was a simple lesson, you string silly words together to form silly sentences and ultimately it’s you who gets to choose what they mean and the effect that they have. And that’s exactly what I believed.
