Words, are that meaningful element of speech. They may be highly treasured, valuable beyond measure. Nonetheless, they always present themselves as a double edged sword. 

You can soothe and heal with them. They can be an everlasting comfort. And often enough we hold on to them for dear life. They are the very glue that builds a relationship, the ties that bind. Words are at the forefront of every good relationship.

In the dark of night, they might tame and soothe the savage beast, believed to be in the closet or under the bed. Those whispered promises of undying and enduring love might spur and fuel a fella to face all the bad the world spits in his face. All for the love, the words of a woman.

When he tells you, after 10 years of marriage that you unequivocally trip his trigger, you still make it happen with fireworks and the lot, that utterance puts a spring in your step. Often without realization these locutions are designed to be played over & over in our heads. We must be responsible with how and what we say, good & bad.

On the flip side, in contrast, words have the ability to annihilate, spread hate  and once it is said, there's no turning back, no recovery, no do-over. *This is one of the most unfortunate lessons we must learn.

You should always think before you say, especially in the heat of the moment. Quite often we go in for that blow that hits below the belt, stings beyond redemption. We'll cut to the quick, be quick to cut and all around make sure that it's us that draws first blood first.

I must say, I do firmly believe we do not say even half of what needs to be said to one another even within the scope of our own lifetime. And guess what? You only get one go round. You're not promised tomorrow. You will not live forever.  But words do, remember this, written or remembered words do!!

This kind of helps with that. My own Mantra is...

"I say what I mean, mean what I say and try not to say it too mean."

Say What Needs to Be Said...

*Even I talk too much on occasion. Imagine that? Us, "Know-it-Alls," must teach the masses and collectively entertain. But we often need to differentiate when to shut the hell up and just listen. A good friend is one that will listen and not feel the need to run the show...or so I tell myself!
