Remember - Your Words Are Like Arrows...

When you are having a disagreement with a family member or friend its very easy to say something that YOU know will hurt them. Its like a weapon you use.

You don't REALLY mean it but you know that it will get to them.

You lash out.

Your hurt them.

I would compare letting these hurtful words loose to firing an arrow at the person. You can't take the words back - once you've shot them That's it. Its too late.

The arrow remains in the person causing pain.

You can't take it back once you have loosed the arrow.

Be careful in what you say to people you love. Think of your words like arrows. You can't take them back and undo the hurt they have caused. With this in mind you might not be so quick to lash out.
