Are you sad?
Are they sad?
How are they handling it?
Did you cry when they left?
Will you cry when they go?
These words are like clichés that we hear now and then when
someone dies, gets married and leaves home, goes overseas for higher studies, or
even leaves home to start a fresh on greener pastures.
How often do we stop to ponder on the words that we utter;
especially, in sensitive situations? It is one thing to make chit chat, but
what point is conversation without substance. Do we ever stop and put ourselves
in their shoes before words leave our mouths?
I hope we all make a conscious effort to THINK BEFORE SPEAKING without
intentionally or unintentionally adding salt to other people’s wounds.
