I found this question while browsing online, and this question somehow reminds me about the things that I experienced before.Words can be powerful as we all know, but sometimes there are some people who become unkind to us that can speak painful words easily without hesitation.Sometimes there are some people who say what do they want to say without thinking if it will hurt to anybody that can hear about it.
Remembering those negative words can be emotional but I heard some people say, that those can words can be a motivation to make oneself better and strive for more.
“Painful words that I received”
When I finished my two years course which is computer secretarial way back year 2005, there’s someone who told me to apply in a company near from where I live.And when my papers was already submitted to their office,the director have read it,and he said,”Ay,di man diay ka degree holder,”(Your not a degree holder),and he just set aside my application.The job was not that too hard because it was just encoding files and doing some office works, but they will still neglect me.That was my first heart broken moment when I was rejected.I blame myself and even my parents of why they did not allow me to proceed 4 years course.But now I’m okay and I already accepted everything that happens to me, I realized that I don’t need to blame anybody.
Second time
One day ,my classmate in high school have called me and said if I know how to write different letters and computer works and I said yes.And he told me to apply in their school because they were hiring a secretary,but after a few hours he called again and said,(nangita man diay sila ug nakahuman ug 4 years),they want someone who finished 4 years course.And that was the day that I said to myself,that my course is useless.From then on,I never ever tried to apply another hiring,even if there’s someone who will told me to apply for this or that ,but I don’t respond to it.
THIRD
Another painful words that I heard from a kid,when he said,”Dakog Mata,daghan Bugas”,that I am a big eye and face full of pimples.I accept that my face is not perfect but when someone will shout it loud in front of many people,it hurts me so,and make me felt self pity.
Fourth
There are some words especially with Filipinos that seems become their expressions, words that are not really convey good message, like “Tanga”,I know how did I translate this on English language but for me, it was painful. Most of the time,I heard this words from my husband ,when he just said it without pause when I make a mistake, like spilling a glass of water or my feet would slip on the floor.
Before, he was not aware that I’m already hurt with it but lately,I told him that it is not good to say so. And he already stop telling it.
Have you said it too?Or have you received these words from other people.
Words are very memorable memories that can be stored in someone’s life, even when they grow old they will not forget it through the span of times.
There was an old lady who had a testimony that when she was a kid she loved her teacher the most.One day, she saw her teacher together with her friends and she called her.And her teachers friend says,do you know her?Whose that black girl?And she really felt bad upon hearing it.Until she grow old,she will never forget the way her teacher looked at her and said her words.
This really reminds me to always be vigilant upon talking or saying something.
There are some painful words that somehow needs forgiveness from others with the people who receive it but still remained unsettled.It can become a scar with their hearts and cause them to have different behavior as well if a person can’t handle it properly .
There’s a lot of things that we should always keep on watch, and one of it is the way we speak;
If it hurts?
If it encourage or discourage?
The pain of words will last than the wounds of the physical body,so let’s keep our words guided with love.

Many people don't usually think before talking,they just say things that comes to their mind and never think if the person they are talking to might be sad.
