I'd love that say that I use words carelessly, but unfortunately, I use them too well and know when they're meant to hurt.

You can't do this when you speak with someone and often people don't understand what you wanted to say.

Sometimes I think all we can do is judge others with the compassion we would like to receive. While many things cannot be called back we run the risk of complete paralysis through fear if we don't do/say something.
