Insults produce such negative results that you’d think humans would be smart enough not the use them.

An insult reveals the insecurity of the person who gives it.

Insults are an attempt to put an end to someone’s freedom of speech by smacking them with unkind words.

An insult is an attempt to hurt a person without using physical violence.

Insults are designed to harm people, to intimidate and silence them with pain, not to convince them with logic.

People’s hearts are changed by kindness, not by insults.

People who have little confidence in what they believe often feel the need to resort to insults.

Apologizing requires courage. That’s why there are far more insults than apologies.

Any person who has lived a few years has plenty to apologize for, but pride trains us to deny that fact.

Lord, give me eyes
That can see
With humility
And recognize
When I need
To apologize.

Real lies
Disguise
Truth
So people
Don’t realize
When they see it
With their own eyes.

Heart-felt apology
And making amends
Is better than
Going to church
And saying amens.
