When God, who is Spirit, wants something to happen in the natural realm - He speaks. God spoke this physical world into existence. You are created in God's image. Like God, you have the power to create with your words. I'm not suggesting that you have the same power as God, but there is something of Him in you. You aren't just a physical being; you're a spiritual being too. The right words on a persons lips bring satisfaction."

Step in Using Words

Your words have more power than you imagine. There's something creative and powerful about the words you speak. That's why you need to think before you speak. The first step is (1) to become aware of what you're saying. The second is (2) to choose to exercise self control. Your words have the power to bring life or death to your life, your relationships and your future. It's time to think before you speak.

We cannot be so meaningful and lovable to others always but nothing is wrong trying not to be rude and not to be stupid all the time. Once there was a child whom used to get lot of scolding from my mother, Some of them (the words) the kid really deserved but many times he never knew the reason. He mother would be angry with someone else but vent them on him. Words that came out of his mothers mouth were not intentional. He can understand it now at this age but at that little age it hurt him a lot. He use to feel so lonely and disturbed. It is not only in his case. Nowadays, many parents are doing this mistake. It is all because of the heavy workload they carry. Tension has become life's most important ingredient.

Things we dont realize when we are angry:

When we are angry we don't realize what we are speaking, what words comes out of our lips. We lose control of our tongue. We don't really mean what we say but what we said is said. We can't take them back. Words can wound a heart, words can also heal a heart but remember wound may heal but the scar remains. Each and every touch of the scar would serve as a reminder of the pain inflicted by the words that you never meant to say in the first place. Some times its better to keep our mouth shut rather than speaking something.

How to fix making mistakes when words hurt you:

When someone scolds you for a mistake that you never committed, its quite natural on your part to shout back. But that would not help in proving yourself. Rather try to make yourself cool and explain the situation to your him when he calms down and also tell him politely how his words hurt you. Then observe his reaction, he would definitely respect you a lot in future. He may hide this reaction but what's important is you made him think about you in a nice way.

By doing so, you are fixing two things. One controlling yourself, two is helping others to rectify their mistake.

Snubbing ( ignoring)
There are some people in this world who never bother what others feel. They live their life to hurt others. Each and every little word they speak would pierce one good soul in this world. We shouldn't bother them. Just snubbing is the correct way to handle them.

One aspect that is impressing is the Sadhus (mystic, an ascetic, practitioner of yoga; Hindu monks) that they speak occasionally. And that to whatever they speak would be meaningful and apt to the situation. They knew everything past, present and future but they never show it on their face. Its difficult for an ordinary man to remain silent watching the situation. But it is very easy to speak selectively.

When you are really angry it means you have to be little cautious about what you speak. Because it is at this situation words just come out letting the mouth take over your mind. Little thinking and patience would solve the problem. We don't have to work a lot on it. Just remember these little words they would guide you.
