Guess many of us have at one time or the other either been the victim or the abuser. Sadly whilst we hate it done to us again its an act we may do quite easily to another specially a loved one or worse still our children. It again goes with the "sticks and stones may brake my bones but words can truly hurt me". Sometimes verbal abuse can be as soul scarring and emotionally traumatizing as physical abuse. Whilst its all well and good to chastise and correct a person,maybe even sternly, who has done a wrong, we should at all times avoid using abusive language and hurling insults.
