I don't agree with that saying at all and like most things, we use it as a cover up so people cannot pinpoint our weaknesses. Words are such a powerful weapon and we have the choice on how we will affect our peers with our words. Such simple things you say can affect a persons whole outlook of themselves and even the world around them. Words can hinder a relationship with God, family, and friends. However, Words can also lift up, praise and be used to rejoice with each other. We have the choice.
We are so quick to point out flaws and punish mistakes that we overlook the wonderful things going on around us. We have forgotten how to speak with love and compassion, the way the God intends us to speak to one another. Is it really easier to point out a flaw than to say "good job" or "I'm proud of you."? I sure hope that our hearts can start to change so we can see others in a more positive way; thank goodness that God does not point out all of our mistakes. He sees everything we go through yet he still lifts us up and praises us for all the good in our life.
Choose to speak kindly. Choose to speak Godly.
One kind word can make a harmful word dissapear.
“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.” (Proverbs 12:25)
