Breaking Words

I saw a Twitter post last night that really stood out to me. I can't remember the exact wording of it, but the main idea was that you can't break someone if you mean nothing to them.

I think it is true.

If you mean nothing to them, your opinion of them isn't generally going to phase them. If you mean the world to them, then just one harsh, ill-chosen word can totally devastate them. Choose the 'right' wrong word, and they may never recover.

Think about it. What are your words really saying to those in your life?
