Hurting Words: The Value Of Healing Words

Improved Essays
In my creation of the list, there were more healing words that were coming to my mind those words that are considered hurting. The question which follows is why have so many healing words come to mind that hurting words. the reason I can attribute to such is because in the recent past my life has been a happy one. This means that the thoughts that have been into my mind are those of the happy moments which gives me no reason to think about hurting words as opposed to healing words, which ideally people should always be thinking about. Another reason can be from the fact that I always want to do good and make people around me happy so I don’t have any reason to conceive the bad thoughts that can lead to words that hurt.
Words have great impacts

    It would require a great deal of practice and patience, but I believe I could accomplish the state of mind and emotion referred to as "radical forgiveness". For many years I responded to situations as a victim, believing I wasn't good enough or blaming others for my choices. As an adult, I try to assume responsibility but old habits die hard and it is a struggle at times to push the victim away. When I consciously choose to not be a victim it is empowering.…

    The Victims Poem Analysis

    • 1110 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Upon initial reading, “The Victims” by Sharon Olds seems to be a poem that paints the picture of a life of abuse; starting from the dawning of the exploitation and arching over into the life of the abused following the maltreatment. In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

    Doty’s various descriptions seemed to hinder the meaning of his topics but the multiple ways of conveying the mackerel helped connect to the single idea of community. Doty’s expression of groups seems to be one of praise because groups allow people to live on through one another. The group of fish is made of individuals but they no longer become individuals when they are together. A community is made of different people that make up a common idea and therefore must be represented in different ways. In the essay “Can Poetry Console a Grieving Public,” Doty describes an event after 9/11 that demonstrates duality in groups.…
