A great take home message, words can and do cause more harm than any type of physical damage. Some scars run so deep you forgot where they originated. Great post, and yes I do try to put myself in the other person's shoes whenever a comment is heard or said. :) The human machine can sometimes ‘react’ before acting properly, and I think sometimes we ‘over-react’.

Thank you soooooo much!!! It's great to read all these comments and know that we're surrounded (in cyberspace) but such nice people. I too have gone back to my mom, sister, husband, coworker etc. and said "you know what I said about so and so...? Well, I'm sorry if it came out the wrong way." There was a girl that killed herself in high school because people made fun of her non-stop (I'm pretty sure she had a mental problem too), but that was just no excuse...and it was completely heart-breaking, I still don't have the words to describe how horrible I feel for her and her family. Even if I hear someone using self-deprecating humor I make it a priority to tell them something nice about their self. And honestly doesn't it feel wonderful to give someone a complement - "that pink dress is stunning on you!" - and just see them glow? It's like volunteering - it really is a win-win situation. Thank you again Kelly - all of you are so sweet and uplifting! Good vibes for Monday - that's always a plus! Awwwww, Kelly you made my whole week by using my (stolen) quote! Thank you soooooo much!!!

You never know what someone is going through, so putting people down or wishing ill of them or resenting them is just terrible. I used to be super-jealous of a girl in high school who was gorgeous... but about a year after I met her, I found out that her mom had died when she was a teenager. Just goes to show you that no one's life is perfect; even that "perfect" person is dealing with something. Gosh it’s so true!
