i think the only things that bother me sometimes is the truth that i do not want to hear from others and i am not ready to accept yet.
but i do have my pet peeves.

Words do have an impact, they contain energy but we have to remind ourselves that they are only words. We can take them on board if they resonate with us or let them go.

Words can cut deeper than a blade. When someone gets offended or angry then the words probably hit close to home.

I think a classic example is a person who is jealous,is it because they have these same thoughts in their head.If you were pure,wouldn't you also think you partner could do no wrong. (think about it)

My grandad once said "you can never take back the spoken word". I try to remember that before I say something hurtful. Words are very powerful, even more so than actions sometimes. Once it's said it's very hard to forget.
