Deadliest Weapon

In this world, there is a weapon so deadly and vicious that the cruelty it impends upon all living beings is truly inexplicable. Unlike the blade of the sword or the tip of an arrow, this weapon is able to amalgamate with the very deep of human emotions resulting in terrifying wraths of anger, jealousy, spite to plunge deep into the damage inflicted by this weapon greatly increasing the damage's severity. Uniquely, this weapon is also able to work as poison, slowly seeping and whispering it's damages into the insides of their victims...but unlike any poison...the very cure for it's poison is not easy to find. This weapon so deadly and powerful is born by most human beings...the mouth.

Words are a true pain if a speaker is totally unaware and not in control of himself. Genocides, patricides, matricides, infanticides, homicides, suicides can all be caused by words. Gossip, slander, backstabbing, vicious speech, nonsense are all part of our daily lives and we do not know the power our words hold.

Someone who speaks so well of us in one period of time, may suddenly cause so much gossip and hurt when we accidentally say something bad or rude to them by accident. Words are like feathers that have flown away in the wind, irrevocable and their effects may be very lasting. A sword may be withdrawn and it's wound can heal in a short span of a few weeks, but a word once spoken may never be withdrawn...the wounds it inflict remain on its victim until/unless they are willing to let it go and forgive...

Time and time again, I remember and forget the severity of words used. Today I remind myself again...SHUT UP!...don't say anything unless it is useful...never speak to harm...never speak to criticize...never speak to complain...i will slowly learn i guess...another thing is my face which is so readable...i do not plan to change the fact that i am straightforward n honest in my thoughts, therefore, my plan this year is to change how i think about others...forgive them...forgive myself...and remember that it is other people's nature for whatever they say, think and do...the END~~~

I also learned that self confidence is not thinking i can take over the world or that i am better than certain certain people...but that I am like this...
1. not many people are explicitly warm to me
2. i don't look good
3. i am not rich
4. i am not the smartest
5. i am not good in everything i do
6. i am not virtuous
but most importantly...i am okay with being bad or mediocre in things...for those that i can change or improve..i will do my best to change if it is for a good cause or something i believe in...although i am not the kindest, nicest person...i believe it is good for my spiritual development and everyday i will slowly change n b a better person...although i am not a very sociable person...i believe that being warm and friendly and letting others feel like they belong will make someone's life better and also make my life better...so i will change that way too..

a wise friend said that our world is a reflection of our mind and thoughts...if i wish to be happier then i need to learn how to see the world as a place full of imperfections, full of suffering, and that i will never always get exactly what i want...but it is fine...bcoz i learn to appreciate things better, learn to be happier with what i am blessed to have, coz some people dont even have that!
