Words- A double edged knife

in #steemit7 years ago

Words are often underrated nowadays.

Imagine you have a friend. Let's name him "Zen".

Now, Zen has been an average student and could clearly tell his father was not proud of him.

So, Zen starts reading and studying day and night, to meet only one goal- Make his father proud of his son.

Months after months, Zen starts getting straight A's.
So he calls his Dad saying " Hey Dad, I'm getting straight A's! Are you proud?"

To which the Dad replies, "I'll call you later, I'm busy".

That's it for Zen. He's now heartbroken. He cries everytime.

Months later, you get a call from a hostipal saying Zen has been hospitalised for drug overdose.


Words can change your life, unite a nation, make you an enemy of international level.

The choice is yours.
