To stay healthy it pays to avoid toxic, hazardous materials. There are some things that are damaging to your body if you drink them or touch them. Not everything is hazardous and it shouldn’t dissuade you from eating or drinking normal food, but there are some things which are not good for you. You need to know what materials are toxic and which are healthy.
So it is with words. There are some words which are toxic, where using them poisons the conversation and sickens relationships. Words that are harmful, painful, or that require you to detox after hearing or using them, those are toxic words. Often it’s not the words we use specifically, but how we use them that makes it toxic.
Use your words to lift, correct, bless, guide, teach, or encourage but don’t use words that make others, or yourself, sick.
