Words have a profound impact, not only on others but also on ourselves. They can shape our reality, influence our emotions, and lead to internal consequences. When we misuse our words through boasting, criticizing, or other harmful speech, the effects can be deeply felt within our soul, heart, or conscience. This haiku reflects on the power of words and the internal turmoil they can cause:
Body’s small rudder
Boasting, praising, critiquing
Burns in fiery pit
Consider this:
How often do you reflect on the words you choose?
Have you ever felt the sting of regret or guilt after speaking harshly?
Do your words uplift or tear down?
How can you harness the power of your words to foster positivity and growth?
Take a moment to assess the impact of your speech on both yourself and those around you.
