A Single Sentence Can Cause Emotional Harm
I always thought I was a strong person who could withstand many setbacks and frustrations. However, it turns out that I can also be deeply hurt by a single sentence. I remember working at my brother's restaurant for over a year, earning a monthly salary of only 2,000 yuan, and often working late into the night. Despite the hardships, I persisted because I wanted to help my brother. However, when business was slow, my brother couldn't even afford to pay me my salary.
My dad advised me not to work there and promised to make up for my salary, but he didn't follow through, and I didn't hold it against him. Later, our family demolished five houses and gave me one as compensation. One day, when we were all having dinner together, my brother suddenly said that my dad shouldn't have given me the house directly and that it should have been sold instead. At the time, the housing market was booming, and the house could have been sold for 800,000 to 900,000 yuan. My brother said that if the house were sold, he could give me 80,000 to 90,000 yuan as my salary, and I could work for him for the rest of my life. When I heard those words, I felt extremely sad and angry. From then on, I rarely went back home and had little contact with my family.
A single sentence can cause emotional harm. Sometimes, we may not be aware of how much harm our words can cause to others. We should be more mindful of our language to avoid hurting others' feelings.
