We had a domino game at Cindy's last night and part of the conversation was about how mean words spoken by anyone against you can and will remain with you the rest of your life.
I can remember mean words from decades ago and, even if they don't hurt me now, I can still remember the slashing pain when they were spoken. It helps to keep in mind that anyone who would cut you like that has no place or prominence in your life. They should be thought of as dirty spots to be washed away and forgotten...at least diluted from their original strength.
Some cruel words might not have been meant as such but were taken that way. You can't undo the harm they caused so you'd better be very careful how you speak.
