Words have power!!!!

I felt disappointed the other day because was coaxed into debating with a kid. I mean, it comes with the job, but I seldom stoop to this level. I am a firm believer in not arguing with idiots because they will wear you down and beat you with their experience! I must continue to remind myself that everyone has different experiences that affect their actions.
Take for example the young lady who has to be the mother of her 3 or 4 younger siblings because Momz is either working or missing from the family scene. While at home she has to be the adult who is responsible for cooking, cleaning, home work checking and getting everyone ready for school the next day. Then upon arriving at school the next day, she may argue with her teacher because she is being told what to do. Perhaps she is unaware of her choice of words and how others are perceiving her actions as abrasive or rude.
I am not excusing these actions, rather saying that everyone has a story. I also understand that everyone can't play counselor to every trouble or disturbed person encountered, but at least we can be cognizant of the issues that R relevant today!
Jesus was quoted at Matthew 7:12 saying "All thing, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them". Of course, that is easier for us to say than follow at times.
I wish we could have keep it real Fridays where we could spit the truth to people and not worry about hurt feelings. I know that won't happen because there is always some idiot who will take it to the next level by going waaaaaaayyyyy to far with the keeping it real.
My point is this: Since words are power, why not make an attemp to say something positive to every one we meet for just one day and see what happens.
