Articles: My Thoughts | Be careful with your words!

I am taking a communication studies class in college, first when I signed up for it, I thought, whether I will like it or why would I need to take it first of all? My college advisor told me to do it as its compulsory but after yesterday's class, I realize how important it is.
Communication, its basic for anything, without communicating, life is not possible, if you can't communicate you can't make friends, you can't express yourself at work, you can't even express your love for someone. You don't know people.
In reality, communication is not just talking or just saying just something. When we talk, we don't think of what the other person would comprehend. We just talk....gossip...just say out the words. But when we are COMMUNICATING, we need to take care of what we are saying!
Communication is so crucial and important than talking. It can either ruin how a person thinks about you or gain and make them happy. A happy person is easily hurt if you say something bad, and a dull person who lost his hopes will be so happy if you just say one word to them, 'Have hope in whatever you do'.
Miscommunication leads us into big trouble. Imagine, when you say something and the person who heard it from you took it differently. How would you feel? This happens so much at work place and even with friends. I know two friends who got separated because of miscommunications and misunderstandings.
Always beware of your words, they can cost you the loss of a good friend too sometimes. Be very careful when you are going to say something important, think twice or thrice, am I hurting him/her by telling that?
I guess everyone of us do this in our minds. But one thing with words, once you said something, that's it, you can't take them back. Once you've hurt someone with your words, and he/she replied by saying, 'I am hurt!', you can confess by saying that, 'Sorry, I didnt think you will take it that way'.
But what about the one instance, the quick pain, the silent pain that triggered in their mind that happened in a second thats only between them and themselves, and then when you said, 'sorry', they pretend they are trying to forget what you said by saying, 'oh ok'. But in reality, once you hurt them, they are hurt.
Words have such power! They can make people good friends Or make them enemies forever!
