Words do hurt!

When we were children, our parents tsught us "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." That is a lie. Words do hurt. Verbal abuse from authority figures, teasing from so-called friends and family, and things said in haste without thinking of another's feelings do hurt. I made a mistake in a e-mail that I thought that I had sent. In a few short words, I felt that person's anger and I am hurt by that attitude. Maybe it's the time of day or the fact that others noticed the mistake and asked me to correct it, but not this person. I am truly taken aback and hurt by the attitude. I use words to make someone feel good and to think about a situation. I use words to mourn and to praise. As a teacher, I used words to explain, to make ua laugh at ourselves and to make us appreaciate ourselves and others. Of one thing I am cured. I will not be passing anything on to anyone else to read. So any prayer will stop with me. I amreally upset about this.
