Hello Hive World.
My home life keeps me a little busy but what little time I can spare, I use it to jot down whatever is on my mind and try to expand on it later on. Earlier this week, I think on Wednesday, I had a bit of an argument with a neighbour who believed she could take me for granted. I wrote down my thoughts on it and decide to share it with you.
When I pointed out her fault and how she was encroaching into my part of the building, she got angry and said some mean things to me. Usually, I overlook a lot of things so we could live together as neighbours but this time around, I let her know what was on my mind.
Thankfully my sons were in school and hubby had gone to work. Other neighbours came to pacify both of us and she thought she could make them take sides. At the end of the episode of exchanging words, they made her realize she was at fault. Did she accept? No.
I returned to my apartment and reflected on the words that came out of her mouth in anger. They were not nice words and it made me see how her mind works towards me and my family.

Yehuda Berg tells us something most of us already know but do we practice it? Let me buttress my post with another quote from the Bible.
— Proverbs 15:1 CEV
Arguments, quarrels and fights can easily be stirred up by mean, hurtful or angry words spoken by one person to another. I am especially sensitive so words matter a lot to me.
Words can either build a person up or pull him or her down. Words can heal and bless but it's how they are spoken that matters.
I try as much as I can to stay positive and always dissuade people around me from speaking negatively because our words are powerful.
If only this woman had chosen her words carefully and wisely, the whole unpleasant episode would not have happened. Hubby was unhappy when he returned home and heard about it. On the upside, I got to know the state of her mind.
Our words are powerful. They can heal our world. Let's use and speak them wisely.
Thank you for reading my post.
