"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
This was an ever present saying of mine (and everyone else's) as a youngster when ever my feelings were hurt or when I had no 'come back' for a situation that involved name calling. How much truth it holds!
By definition words are; a single distinct conceptual unit of language, comprising inflected and variant forms. Nothing more.
There is no word(s) that can hurt, scar or cause us pain unless we give it meaning/belief to do so. On who's behalf do words affect? This is Self Inquiry.
