The harshness of words last longer than the second it takes to say.
The harshness of words can last a lifetime, and hurt just as bad, years later, as it did the second you heard them.
Let your words be remembered as warm and loving instead. Let that memory be encouraging, rather than demeaning.
The root of many behaviors is caused by being shown harshness, when all that was needed was love.

I must admit that on rare occasions I have said some nasty things to people but regretted them the second they were out of my mouth

Absolutely, I have done the same. I wrote this though from past experience of people who said nasty things to me multiple times. And I don’t ever forget anything so it really stuck with me from a kid to now an adult

This is so true!
And I am no saint either, but when I am spitting nastiness, I try to keep it to general terms rather than targeting on what I know is someone’s insecurity.
