There is no sickness worse for me than words that to be kind must lie.

About This Quote

If words are used to be kind, they must be true. The truth is that words can be used to be kind or mean. Many people cannot tell the difference. That is why people get sick when they hear certain things.

Words can cause so much pain and suffering for people who are sensitive enough to feel the effects. Instead of speaking the truth, it is better to speak kind words or keep silent so that you don’t cause harm for someone else.
