WORDS BOTH KIND AND CUTTING Oh, if only I were as tough as a pecan. Im not saying its impossible, but it is very, very difficult to crush a single pecan in ones single hand. Its somewhat easier if you use both hands, especially if you have two nuts in your hands, allowing the nuts to work against each other. But pecans are tough, tough to crack. Humans not so much so. A mouthful of hurtful words can cut clear to the core. Rejection can bring tears. Raised voices, fear. The human soul can be crushed with little effort. Sticks and stones are to our bodies as words are to our feelings. We can get our feelings hurt and the offender never know or understand why. Words can carry edges with them that cut, and we dont see any physical damage, but we feel emotional carnage. But just as words can sting, words can soothe. May we choose our words carefully. And may we be tough as pecans.
