The ability to communicate is too essential in any relationship you are building or intending to build. When words are well spoken it brings refreshing to the soul, if not it creates disaster. Relationships are built through the power of words and are also scattered through words. Wars begin because of words. Peace is also brokered through words. You need to understand that words links people and it separates as well. You must also take into consideration the fact that your word today has the capacity to create the world you will live in tomorrow. One wrong word has sent people to jail or even out of life.
WORDS ARE IRRETRIEVABLE
Words are absolutely irretrievable, no matter how much you apologized for saying the wrong things. The fact still remains that you cannot withdraw your statement from the minds of people, as it is a very powerful storage device in man. They will always be remembered. The words that will not be remembered are the ones unsaid. So wisdom demands that you manage your words in any relationship whether with friends, employer, teachers, parents, children, spouse, even with yourself. Sacred Wisdom of the Ancient says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" and again "you are ensnared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth". What you say to yourself is very crucial to what happens to you in life. Every word you speak goes into your account in the future. Jesus speaking on this wise says every idle word you say would be judged.
There is one thing I have come to understand about negative words. They usually have greater impact when spoken and are easily remembered. You don't have to repeat them to have much effect. Once is enough. People tend to hear negative words twice over even though it was spoken once or even half a time. "There is he that speaketh like the piercing of the swords: but the tongue of the wise is health." Therefore, watch what you say. Say the right things and get the right results. Hurtful words are very destructive but rightful words build. Sacred Wisdom succinctly put it thus: "A word fitly spoken is like apple of gold in picture of silver."
