If Relations are Victims, Words are Swords

'A minute to learn; a lifetime to master'.

That is the shortest definition of speech. It's true words are the very medium of communication. It's undeniably true that the first words led to the foundation of the human civilization. However, it is a popular saying that, where words are the most needed area of life, words are also the harshest weapon ever used. And, why not? A few words between Roosevelt and Stalin led to the Cold War. A few words exchanged for two opposing thoughts on slaughtering of pigs caused the Pig War. 

But, how are relations actually related to words. First, to introduce, relations are the most sensitive agenda for any human. Every man and woman lives for relations- be it friends, be it family members or any pets. One shares some or the other relation with everyone he/she knows. And, it is undebatable that relations are built due to words and broken for the same cause. I would like everyone to remember someone you knew but are not in touch anymore. Remember what the first conversation was, when one of you broke the ice. Now, recall the last words exchanged between you. There is a lot of difference. As and when friends and relations become closer and confidential, we almost forget that we are solely responsible for harming someone's emotions with our words. 

That is why they say, think twice before you say. Mankind learns how to say a couple of days after birth- be it sensible or insensible. However, what to say and when to say are two questions he can never answer even at the end of life. Experiences teach better than teachers. Although there is no cure to the incision made by the sword of words, it is better as well as advisable to just say sorry if you are really at fault to make the other person realize that it was not on purpose this happened. 

So, the next time you say something, check your words before the need to say sorry comes because...
