"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Bullshit.
Words have more power then we will realize and once words have been said, they cannot be taken back. People don't forget the things that hurt them, they stick with you and can haunt you. They are not just words, and when you couple them with social media you provide a platform that can be so incredibly damaging. It is not only damaging to the person you are attacking, it is toxic. It can spread like wildfire and make people choose sides. It hurts. I cannot describe to you how much it can hurt and how much it weighs on the hearts of those that know what's going on and can feel for that person. In a world that asks us to be tolerable of just about every kind of person, are we to tolerate this? Are we to let this slide by us and ignore it? No. I think not. Everyone is their own person, with their own decision making process and their own rights and wants. Who are we to try to tell them that what they want is not what they should want? Think about your words and think before you speak because what you say can stick with them forever when you only think about it for that moment in time.
