You’ve heard it said that “you can’t take back what you say”.

Sometimes people think they are controlling their tongue, but are merely channeling their venomous words into their keyboard.

I believe that hurtful words that are typed are even more hurtful than words that are spoken.

You see, words that are spoken may be excused as a moment of anger or an emotional outburst from someone who didn’t take time to consider their words.

However, words that are typed, even such as this post, must be weighed and considered as they are typed.

A person who types a hurtful word to another has spent time entertaining their anger, and their words are without excuse.

We must forgive them all the same, but their inability to control their tongue and their keyboard points to a deeply rooted seed of bitterness.
