Sticks and Stones
By Tammy Derouin
Words are powerful.
They can be used for good and they can be used for evil. Those who wish to control use them to instill
fear and dependency. Words, by
themselves, are not physically harmful.
They may cause hurt feelings but they cannot cause broken bones or death
simply because they passed through our ears.
An individual with a nefarious agenda will use words to cause
a reaction to achieve a desired outcome. His choice of words will plant seeds;
seeds he hopes others will nurture and cultivate. Your reaction puts the control back into your
hands. Reacting without thought or investigation,
allows bad seeds to grow. If you refuse
to blindly accept the words and investigate prior to reacting, you can kill
evil seed before they take root.
I grew up prior to the invention of bubble wrap. I also grew up with the saying, “Sticks and
stones may break my bones but words will never harm me.” We now live in a bubble-wrap society. Apparently, the powers that be wish to
protect sensitive Americans from hearing and therefore using, certain
words.
