Double Edged

Words can hurt as much as they can heal...

Different words can describe the same situation.
But have different effect on a person.

Instead of telling someone...
"You're here but you don't seem to be..."

Wouldn't it sound better to tell that person...
"Thanks for being here even if you are very tired from work..."

No... it doesn't just sound better, it feels better too as well.

Things will not always go our way,
But we can always do something about it.

Life is not perfect, and it will never be,
But simple words of appreciation would make a big difference...

------------------------------------------------------------
anything that can simultaneously help and hinder,
as when in sword-fight a person can increase his leverage
by putting his hand on the blade, which might win the
contest but also result in a wound
