Can words damage another person irreparably or

Question

is it possible to carefully stitch up the wounds caused another person? How does the amount of guilt effect the amount of sincerity shown?

Answer 1

You CAN"T make a fast repair.

They might seem friendly on the outside, but on the inside, they'll always remember those words.

You could try giving her/him rides to their homes.

Or you could them a really nice B-day/Christmas present to make sure that you're sure.

Anyways you have to show that you're truly sorry.

Or else they'll hate you on the inside.

Answer 2

YES.  I think sometimes people don't think before they speak and don't realize what they are doing to the other person.  Always think before you speak.  I have noticed that strangers can be the worst at this.  

Answer 3

well, the more you hurt someone, and the more you see them hurt, the more you'll realize the effect that your words had. so you feel as guilty as the pain shown...

and yes, words can damage another person irreparably

Answer 4

Words are containers for meaning.  They have power.  Unfortunately, once spoken and heard (or read) you can't go back and erase them, so it's important to think through how they will sound before they are spoken.

Forgiveness and healing can take place, but that can require time, love, trust, and God's forgiveness and grace.

Answer 5

such is the basis for much of the psychiatry industry

Answer 6

You can stitch all you want, but you can't take it back.  I've said somethings to/about people 15 years ago and still see the damage.

Answer 7

As we speak, Nancy Grace of CNN is being sued for wrongful death, after she harshly interviewed a woman whose child was missing--and still is. The mother was a person of interest by the police, so Grace had a purpose in being harsh.

The woman comitted suicide hours after the interview. Was Grace wrong?

On the other hand, libel and defamation of character can cause public problems for the rest of someone's life. Look at the guard accused in Atlanta of setting the bomb in a park that killed people. He was finally cleared--after years of arguing about it--but he could never work again. Who would hire him? The government said for many years he was guilty, when he was not.

Answer 8

it depends on asensitivity of the person aggrieved. a less sensitive persona may not bother what u say and just ignore.  

Answer 9

Words can mend any wound as well as break anyone...as long as the person is able to receive the message you could tear anyone down with insensitive words, as the saying goes time heals all wounds...which is really sad because if YOU were to tear someone down with words and make them feel guilty for something they did...

It's unspeakable, to make another person feel guilty to be aware of it and yet to do it any way...

From personal experience I can honestly say words can kill a person, kill them inside(there are things worst them death to live in a perpectual h**l created by yourself just because someone said something about you...another word for it would be depression)

Sometimes people maybe unaware of what the things they say may do to people...

sorry I can't write well...my mind is still a blur...why? My friend said something to me, I haven't forgotten eventhough it's been 7 years...
