Sometimes, words can harm the mental health of our interlocutor
Words are not just words. They have a lot of power and that’s why it’s important to be careful how and which ones we use every time we want to express ourselves. As Pythagoras said, the wound caused by words is deeper than that of a knife, because the knife injures the body, while words injure the soul.
And while most of us would confidently argue that we are careful with our words and don’t embarrass other people or give them second thoughts, a psychologist comes to restore the truth.
