Power of Words

[sohno4u]

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.



The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

This story teaches two lessons:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path.

The power of words....it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times!

Sohno thanks for sharing such a moralistic story..i really enjoyed reading it.. Yes it is true that sometimes " actions speak louder than words" and in this case thats wot happened.

Our tongue is our biggest weapon..we can use it to ATTACK and to DEFEND..often we say things in moment of anger or not thinking that leave deeps cuts in peoples lives and they hurt each time they remember wot we said. I am a firm believe of letting things lie..do not attack with swearing and cursing...defend urself if u feel u are right..(which i often do)

We must always encourage people who are down in the pits to find a way back up..a few words of care and love can make someones day..and those exact words will benefit us in the hereafter
