STOPš« Hurting with Questions: Speak Kindly, Live Gently
Every heart carries silent battles ā your words can either heal or harm. Choose wisely.

Donāt Touch Othersā Weak Spots! ā¤āš„
Is it really necessary that in every meeting or phone conversation, we bring up peopleās vulnerabilities?
Your daughter still isnāt married?
Your son hasnāt gotten a job yet?
Itās been years since your weddingāstill no good news?
Only one child in five years?
Why did you reject that proposal?
Why do you have so many pimples on your face now? You used to look so nice.
Why have you gained so much weight? You used to be so fit.
What happened to your hair?
Just think for a momentā¦
If you have all these blessings in your life, is it really because of your own merit?
If your child is married or has a job, is that purely because of your own efforts?
Perhaps you had supportive people around youāthose who guided and helped you, not just those who gossiped and questioned.
There are young men and women out there who go around looking for matches themselves, while decent children rely on their parentsā judgment and support.
If your children have high-ranking jobs, is it really only because of you?
No, not at all. There is a power aboveāthe Almightyāwho knows what to give to whom, and when.
He alone knows how to test someoneās patience and how to measure their gratitude.
You donāt know what others are going through.
Maybe someoneās son sacrificed his whole life to support his family.
Maybe a daughter chose not to marry to serve her aging parents.
Sometimes parents are so busy enjoying their own lives that they forget to think about their childrenās future.
And sometimes lifeās harsh realities break a person from within.
Donāt let arrogance consume you.
Who knows, the same pride could one day be shatteredāand your own children might become the cause of your downfall.
The greater the test, the greater the reward.
This is the promise of the Lord of the worlds.
So remember ā itās NOT your place to...
Poke into someoneās personal struggles.
Highlight someoneās weaknesses.
Add to the pain someone is already silently enduring.
Canāt you see the pain on someoneās face when you ask such questions?
If you canāt be someoneās support, at least donāt become the reason for their suffering.
We often see othersā weaknesses, but many people speak up just to satisfy their curiosity or for their own shallow amusement
Never expose or question someoneās hardshipsāespecially those related to fate:
(Why arenāt you getting married? Why did your engagement break? Why havenāt you found a job yet?)
When someone asks such things right in front of me, I canāt bear to see the hurt on the other personās face.
Why are we so insensitive?
Even when someone is under pressure and still chooses to meet you or call you, must your words add to their stress?
Maybe they called you to find some mental peaceānot to be reminded of their burdens.
Please donāt be the reason for someoneās pain.
Donāt give people false hope just for your own benefit.
Donāt destroy someoneās peace for the sake of improving your own life.
If someone hasnāt shared their problem with you, donāt go digging into the sensitive matters of their life.
Every meeting doesnāt need to be about questions like:
(Still single? No kids yet? No job? Havenāt bought a house yet?)
Use your wisdomāif thereās something they want you to know, theyāll tell you themselves. Whatās the point of repeating such questions?
If you arenāt facing such issues yourself, try putting yourself in their shoes. Maybe then youāll understand.
Help peopleādonāt just talk.
Spread ease, spread love.
Live in peace, and let others live peacefully too.
