“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” It’s a childhood phrase for the most of us; a self-defense mechanism to help ease the pain of hurtful words, because words do hurt, deeply. Although I know it shouldn’t, it still amazes me how adults can spew out words that cause the deepest pain possible, especially to those they “love or care about”; how judgmental they can be towards others without the slightest attempt at looking into the mirror or remembering how these others have been there for them in the past.
