For me i do agree, cause simple words can start a great war. Words can make a person very upset and made him/her commit suicide. A person can kill another person with heart diseases only by using harsh words. Si i think people should be choosing what words to say or to throw to a person. So that people cannot hurt and kill a person by his words.

Yes rjvb 26, I agree with you completely. Words can hurt very badly. One can get into a state of depression under continuous nagging. It can lead to taking one's own life or as you said can take it toll on one's heart.
It is definitely a form of violence.
I feel that words that are not gentle should not be used and one should weigh the words before saying something to someone.
Thanks

Sure words can kill people. It was not to long ago a mother sent a very bad email to some young girl and the young girl killed herself. Some people can handle harsh words but alot of people can't. There are some people very sensitive and fragile and the wrong thing said to them can put them in a bad place and there goes the spiral downward fall.

Yup, your right about there. Words are very powerful and we should be careful on what we say to others. Just like what they say, a physical wound is easily healed than the wound made from the heart.

I agree with you, the words that are thrown to us or we thrown to others that are really mean and bad can hurt a person longer than we could even imagine, a simple stab can heal for a month or so, but words that are mean cannot be healed by that fast even impossible to heal.

hi..
For me we should think the words we saying/ telling to a person even we are so close or even if it is our parents, relative, friends, etc. cause if we didn't watch our word it can lead to a problem in our social life,. the word can kill a person depend in the thought or the idea in the words you've telling to his/her.. in short how he/she receive the hurts ,,God bless

I agree with you rjvb, words can really kill. I have come across an article about the tongue written by Charles Stanley. Charles Stanley is a preacher of a baptist church and i really feel blessed when im listening to him. So this article says that we should be careful with what we say or what comes out from our mouth. Our tongue is somewhat cursed so we have to control it specially when we are angry. According to the article, the tongue can kill. This is really true because i know of someone from our place, he was not able to finish a course and his mother kept on telling him that he is useless, he is a burden and he is not of any help. Since he cannot find a job, he just earn from working as a laborer. And this does not please his mother so later when he cannot take his mother's nagging about him being useless and a burden, he hung himself.
In relation to this, parents should also be careful in talking to their children. Some call their children with aliasis that connotes negative images of themselves. This can influence their growth and development.

Yes,I believe. But it is not common. According to the historic TV, it happened in China in "Sanguo" period. In our life, some words can hurt others easily,too.

i do agree with you here ,words sometimes are totally harmful to someone who's weak or has mental problems. Just couple of simple words can fire a bickering which might lead to body confict or sth worse. No kidding here, many cases indict that kill always starts from language offence.

Definitely. An irresponsible use of words could poison a person or group of people. Words could hurt someone's reputation far beyond his/her grave.

Yes, it does..
I believe in it because it's reality. We have different kinds of people around and most of the people who would relate to this issues are those that are weak emotionally or are easily affected by what the other party says. For that person everything you will be saying is a great deal to him/her.
There are news about this also, people who suffered much of a depression will surely be a part also.
