"Words are loaded pistols"
"Do not fear when your enemies criticise you. Beware when they applaud."
"What you really value is what you miss, not what you have."
"What you really value is what you miss, not what you have." - I think that the phrase is right about everyone. For example, I went to bed lately and got up early during the summer. And only now I really understand the price of a good sleep but I can’t enjoy it.
I agree with you And i have an example too. Many times i asked my relatives to buy me a new phone. When they had bought it, i realised that i didn't really need it .
"Words are loaded pistols". I think it's 100% true becuse sometimes people hurt each other by the words. Stick and stones may just break bones, but the wounds from words never heal... People need to be kinder to each other.
I don't agree with you. I think that stick and stones can not only break bones but even kill. But words can't. They may morally injure and make pain for some time, but in a day or in a year injury will be healed by time.
In this discussion I'm on Ksusha's side as some psycological traumas are more painful than physical ones and can lead to depression or even more serious consequences.
"Do not fear when your enemies criticise you. Beware when they applaud." I think if your enemies criticize you, it means that they envy you and try to lead you astray.
It could be. But on the other hand criticism helps you to notice your mistakes and do your best to correct them. On my opinion, applause fill you with pride and arrogance that hinder you to take the right decisions.
Thank you, guys, for your opinions. I hope that you won't have any enemies in the future and you will be able to have great achievements without their 'help'.
"What you really value is what you miss, not what you have." I think that we start to really value sb or sth when we lost or miss that. In example we start to value spent time with our friends or family when we left them. I think we need to value all moments and all people in our life.
“words are loaded pistols” sticks and stones can break our bones, but words, can break our heart, if we not careful - they can shatter this from movie, but i absolutely agree with this worlds

ReplyDeleteYes, I think you're right.
DeleteI agree with you And i have an example too. Many times i asked my relatives to buy me a new phone. When they had bought it, i realised that i didn't really need it .
DeleteSasha, perhaps, if you lost your new phone, you would realise that you actually needed it. Hope it won't happen :)
