Comments can inspire, enlighten, inform. They can also demoralize, hurt and wound. Sometimes a comment can reveal more about your readers than the post reveals about you. We have all made comments that in our head sound innocent but when it’s on a screen it looks like something else. We can use our comments to lift someone up or to tear them down when they don’t need to
The old saying if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all applies but is often not followed. What you say has weight and consequences. Everyone has said dumb things they regret and wish they could take back but it is also hard to put toothpaste back in a tube. Be sure to leave comments but choose words wisely. It’s always something about those comments.

Correct… sometimes there’s a lot about them

Unfortunately, the only people who will take this into advisement are those who already care. But it is a soft reminder for those of us who do.

This is good advice but as tmezpoetry said those who will take this advice are not those in need of it. But thanks for posting it anyway.

I wrote it in part because I need the reminder.

Wonderfully written, Tony. I agree – oftentimes the comment someone makes tells a story about them rather than a story about what they are trying to say about us. I have a hard time remembering this sometimes.

I just read this in my devotional this morning. Hmm? Maybe God is telling me something.
