Us, too, more often than not. Sometimes we think that what matters is what we do or not do. Talk is cheap. Words can sometimes do more long lasting damage than deeds.
Words can be weapons as much as knives and guns.
They can hurt, maime, even kill. The pen, the word is mightier than the sword. This simple verse reminds us that we should not be party to such words, not using them or staying in someone s presence who uses them as weapons. In fact, we are called upon to use words to silence such talk. But even that must be done in love.
