Words can work like both a bandage and a sword. They can go deep and hurt you in ways that can take years to heal. Some wounds are so deep that they leave such a powerful impact that they don't seem to heal easily.
Words can also work like a bandage. Sometimes, you yearn for comforting words from someone—someone who understands your situation and says the words you actually need to hear.
At the same time, words can also be the reason you feel broken and shattered. Some people have such sharp tongues that they can make others bleed emotionally. It can't be seen, but the pain can become too severe to handle at some point.
Sometimes, you just stare into space and keep listening to their words because you know there is no point in arguing with them. They aren't open-minded people, and for them, perfection matters more than anything.
Even if you have done something wrong, instead of correcting you in a proper and healthy way, they choose another way that makes you feel more vulnerable and demotivated. Those people aren't helping you, but they claim to be helpful by saying they are doing it for your own good. Such people aren't ready to accept their own faults because they are too busy finding mistakes in others.
Some people are blind, deaf, and silent when it comes to their own accountability. No matter how powerful they may look, when there is no accountability, it shows a lot about them. They may know everything, but they still choose to stay the same because they don't want to bring positive change within themselves.
Adopt wisdom in your life. It may seem boring, but it can change your life. Peace can come from within when you start understanding that some people only show off by trying to bring others down. They only continue to affect you because you start believing that they are right when they pass judgments on you.
How are you doing today? How is everything? I hope whatever you are struggling with gets better soon.
