Good day, amazing people of the hive block chain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another edition of the #hivenaija community.
If there is something my parents taught, it is how to speak to people. My parents made us understand that there are certain words that are worse than flogging and that sometimes some words that come out of our mouth can either bless or kill someone. Back then, if you ever spoke badly to someone, my parents would flog out the living hell from you.
Growing up, I came to realise that it is not good to speak out of anger. Speaking out of anger is very painful. Words of the mouth are very powerful; the words that come out of our mouth are like glass; they're broken, and you can never fix them back. I am always careful of the things I say, especially when I am angry. I try my best to avoid speaking out of anger. If there is any moral code I don’t want to break, it is speaking out of anger.
Most times, when I speak out of anger, I will be full of regret. My conscience will keep beating me until I apologise to the person. As humans, it is normal for us to get angry, but we should be mindful of the things we say at that moment so that we will not hurt the person. I try my best to walk out whenever I am angry so that I will not use harsh words. Whenever I am angry, I find it hard to control what I say. That is why I walk out when I am angry.
I can remember last month when I spoke to someone out of anger. I regret ever speaking in my angry state because the girl never expected it from me. I tried controlling my anger, but I couldn't. I had to speak to her in a way that really hurt her emotions.
Use the secret she told me with confidence against her at that point i don’t care it is a secret that i promise her i will take to grave the moment i speak about it i get back to my sense seeing her crying really hurt me although she said something that hurt me i should’ve used her secret against her at that point i realised i have gone so far inside me i was so sorry am i wish i never said those words to her. After that incident, whenever I am angry, I walk out so that I will not use hash words on someone.
Conclusion: Let us be careful of the way we talk to people. There is power in tongues; our words can kill or heal someone. I understand that most times we speak to people when we are angry. We should try our best to control our anger. There are better ways to settle problems than using hash words on someone.
This is my response to the #hivenaija weekly prompts.
Have you ever spoken to someone out of anger and immediately wished you never spoke to them in such a manner?
