Words...
When someone says something kind or beautiful to us, it has
a powerful effect, almost like it takes us back in time. We feel refreshed, as
if twenty years of life’s stress and hardship are lifted. Kind words give us
energy and make us feel young again, as if anything is possible. But when
someone says something hurtful, it does the opposite. We feel the weight of a
thousand years crushing us, and it’s hard to shake off that sadness. Words have
a much bigger impact than people realize, and anyone who thinks words don’t
matter is wrong.
Words aren’t just harmless. They are like bullets—small but
deadly. They can hurt us deeply, causing wounds that we don’t see, but we feel
them in our hearts and minds. These wounds can last a lifetime. Even though
words can cause as much pain as actions, they aren’t punished by the law.
People often forget that words can break a heart just as much as anything else.
The things that keep our hearts alive and healthy are kind
and gentle words. Kindness, love, and simple acts of gratitude lift us up and
make us feel valued. A well-timed compliment, given with no expectation of
return, can brighten someone’s day, even in their darkest moments. Small,
thoughtful gestures like these help connect us with others and make us feel
understood and appreciated.
People are delicate, no matter how strong they seem on the
outside. One kind word can make someone feel like they’re flying, like they can
do anything. But one harsh word can bring them crashing down, breaking their
confidence, and sometimes even breaking their heart while they’re still living.
The heart is fragile, and once it’s hurt by words, it takes a long time to
heal.
Just like a successful country doesn’t rely on imports but
builds its own resources, a successful person is someone who is emotionally and
spiritually strong from within. They know that their true wealth lies in their
own abilities, strengths, and wisdom. They don’t rely too much on others for
their happiness, because they understand that doing so can come with a heavy
price—dependence. When we depend too much on others for our emotional needs, we
can end up disappointed or hurt, and this causes stress and sadness.
A person who is emotionally strong only looks to others for
what is essential to keep their relationships healthy, but they don’t depend
too much. They know that true fulfillment comes from their own strengths, not
from others.
We should always be careful how we treat others. Don’t try
to make your day better by making someone else’s day worse. Don’t ask questions
that could upset someone or touch on their sensitive issues. Doing so is a sign
of immaturity. Don’t be sarcastic, and don’t pry into people’s personal lives.
Instead, be kind. Ask how they’re doing with genuine care. Smile, laugh, and
when you leave them, make sure they’re smiling too.
Be happy, spread happiness, and live under the protection of
Allah Almighty, knowing that His blessings are always there for you.
