Words by themselves do not have power. We give them power with our feelings.
Words filled with love and an attitude of compassion ignite life and healing to someone hurting. But words filled with discourse and hate crush a spirit. A harsh answer fueled by our ego stirs up anger but a gentle reply from the heart brings peace. (Proverbs)
Look, are people responding or reacting to you? Then, listen, are your words coming from your head or your heart? It is said, no one cares how much we know, until they know how much we care.
