Four letter words

June 4th 2008 15:29
This is not a post about four letter words that cause outrage; the ones used to swear, curse, abuse, joke, describe or use as derogatory terms.

These are the other four words that cause far more heaviness of heart. They can change your life in a heart beat. You may hear them, think you hear them but do you really hear what is being said? Just think about what might be behind these words the next time they are spoken. As many of these words have multiple meanings you may not pick up the negativity surrounding them or the help being sought or their absolute intent. They may not always be bad when spoken but watch for the demeanor of the speaker to see what they definitely had in mind.

The old adage “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” is wrong. A broken leg will heal but a broken heart is far more painful and harder to treat. Real pain can be caused by words. Like:



Lies
Loss
Hurt
Over
Rift




Hate
Rape
Stop
Don’t
Help
Fear




Love
Jilt
Gone
Pain
Lost




Poor
Gone
Scar
Sick
Ugly
Used

Very true. Another one came to me: don't.

I agree Morgan. if we used the word help more often, those other four letter words above might not be as bad.

Thanks Raven

Sometimes this is how I bring myself out of the dark and back into the light by putting pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard. It's all cathartic.

Hi Cheryl,

I thought I'd better come and read this post after Morgan put this post in her Top Ten....and I can see why.

Definitely hits a nerve.

Love & stuff
Mrs M

Hi Anne, Thank you. I'm glad it touched you.

Hi Mrs M, it was lovely of Morgan to give me a mention. Especially as it was something I put together when I was feeling down. Thanks so much.
