Oftentimes careless actions hurt the most.
Careless words hurled without a second thought; tossed like daggers that stab right into the chest. The wounds may heal, but the scars always stay. How can you say this? I fight my tears back in class and hope that the overly chatty guy beside me does not notice.
The careless words reverberate in my head over and over again. “I was in a good mood until I talked to you, man.” Such careless words thrown in a fit of anger, and if they were meant to hurt — they did. I took the whole afternoon nursing my wound, giving excuse after excuse to relieve the ache; it was not very effective.
When one spares a thought for another, the world becomes a better place. But oftentimes, that is too much to ask for. Largely, we are all self-serving; and we do not realize how our actions can hurt until we are on the receiving end of the pain.
Careless words break the world apart. Careless words tear relationships apart. And today, careless words have broken my heart.
