Words

are powerful

forces of nature.

they are destruction.

they are nourishment.

they are flesh.

they are water.

they are flowers

and bone.

they burn. they cleanse

they erase. they etch.

they can either

leave you

feeling

homeless

or brimming

with home.

…………Words of Sanober Khan

There is a story about Solomon islands, I dont know whether its a reality or just a story….. my main concern is regarding the lesson it tries to give… The story goes like this:

In the Solomon Islands of the pacific the islanders practice a special form of curse magic. If a tree needs to be cut down and it is too big to be chopped down, it is brought down by the combined efforts of the Islanders cursing negatively and yelling at the tree. This negative energy somehow damages the tree’s life energy the result being after about 30 days of getting cursed the tree dies off and falls to the ground!!

Words are double-edged, they’re very powerful… never under estimate them… I never believe in this fact that words can cause so much impact on someone’s life that it can actually make or destroy a person. But today, I strongly believe in this ofcourse, when so much damage is being done to me. I, personally, found that we always hesitate or get confused how much important it is to appreciate good qualities of family because we, generally, think that it can make them egoistic or something but when it comes to criticize or point out mistakes, it’s our primary responsibility.I am not saying that it’s not right to criticize or point out mistakes but at the same time its very important to appreciate, give due acknowledgment to the efforts of others. In my case , I’m never being openly admired, being appreciated or given due and deserving credit by my family including partner, parents, siblings. They do it at my back(this is what they told), I asked them to do it in front of me if they really feel so and not at my back but… worst part is being played by my so called better half…

and this always pointing out, finding out shortcomings of mine, never giving/ acknowledging my deserving credit the point comes where I lose all my confidence, self- esteem, start doubting myself and so on. panic disorder and depression hits me, it took me long time to believe that negative words, unacknowledged behavior of my family can cause so much problem to me. And when I finally admitted it, understand it… it was late , I already on a path of chronic depression and panic disorder n now I’m waiting for rtms in a hope that once again I can have my hold back on my life.

So according to my personal experience I want to say we must use words very very wisely . If we cant make anyone, we don’t have any right to destroy someone……pratyaya singh #wordspower #destruction #akbarhues #livenletlive #help
