The harmful effect of words

Words are only just words, or are they?

The words themselves, and the way that they are said, can either bring a relationship closer together, or be the cause of it being split further apart.

Words can guide and provide loving connection, or they can be used as battering rams against somebody's psyche.

Words can be spoken either consciously or unconsciously, and they can have either a positive or a negative affect on somebody else.

Everything affects everything else. Everything carries a message. Words have a power or an energy within them, and in the way that they are spoken, that can either draw out the other person's energy as well, as in catching someone's enthusiasm, or they can have the opposite affect, and deplete somebody's energy.

In the latter case, and which is the subject of this article, words can so upset, and shake somebody up, as to cause long term harmful effects in that person. Fear, lack of self confidence, depression, lack of motivation, all of these negative traits and ways of behaving can often result, from being verbally bashed or abused by someone else.

A word is a thought externalised, and this is why we get so upset when someone, that supposedly loves us, uses such harsh words towards us. This must also be what they are thinking about us too.

Using words that carry negativity or lack of love can have an effect on somebody's inner spiritual connection to their higher selves as well. When fear has developed in someone instead of love, it is far harder for them to have an innate trust, or believe in their real selves. They think that the fearful person is really them.

Words come forth from us with the potential connective power of establishing communicative alignment, or in other words establishing a rapport to another person. When the words cause disturbance in this alignment, a resonating conflictive feeling arises in the heart of the person receiving these words. This is the hidden shadow of the disruptive energy of these types of words.

The higher developed more conscious person takes responsibility for their own words, but an abusive person, will often even blame the abused person, for making them supposedly talk in that way. They will also sometimes additionally infer that the other person deserved to be spoken to in that way too.

Nobody deserves this type of treatment, ever.

Positive encouraging words can uplift the listener, and help to build them up. Abusive negative words just deflate, and tear down
