Damage for a lifetime

There was a time when a negative comment would enter your mind like a bolt of lightning in reaction to what was happening at that moment but you didn't dare say it out loud. Nowadays it shoots out of people's mouth as fast as it enters their mind. If they will just keep it in till they have had time to think and see how they should react 95% of the time they wouldn't say it. Whoever said "words can not hurt you" was wrong. The hate that spews out of their mouth in a split second can do damage for a lifetime.
