Script Under Construction.

Words.

Words have a powerful effect. The pen, it is rightly said, is mightier than the sword. Speech is even mightier.
A sword kills and it's over. Pain is over. Death engulfs. A sleep for eternity begins.
But words?
They can kill inside. They can kill a person's morale, self-confidence, love. Only the body will live and the soul will be drained. A living dead. Words can do that.

Words can hurt us immensely.
Sarcasm.
I'm sarcastic. A lot. It's a part of my normal language. I have to be sarcastic if I'm hurt or angry or if I'm making the response to something totally stupid. Doesn't mean that sarcasm is a good response.
It's awful. When it hurts someone, it's totally awful. It can make a person feel totally humiliated.

And meanness. Rudeness.
They are two counts ahead of sarcasm.

Criticism, unless constructed along the right lines, can hurt a lot too. My mother makes cutting remarks at me all the time. Feels like she's just trying to bring me down.
Now, of course she's not trying to do that. But the way she says it... it makes me feel that way.

Not only our words but the way we say it ... that matters as well.
"What's up bitch?" to a best friend who abuse on friendly terms sounds different from "What's up, BITCH?" said to a person you dislike.
Or, just try saying 'yes'.
There's a 'yes' for agreeing as in 'yes, I did do that.'
There's a 'yes' for joy as in 'YESSSS! I did it!"
There's a 'yes' for answering a question as in 'yes, I made the chart.'
There's a bored 'yes', an excited 'yes'...
So many yeses.

Enunciation. Yes, that matters too.

Ramblings above...
