Sometimes instant is no good

Emails are hazards,

Immediately released,

Enflamed anger.

 

No care in words sent,

Only revenge-driven pain.

Pride destroys again.

 

Instant messaging,

Emotion-driven typing,

Anger kills friendships.

Well put.
Hasty words can't be recalled, in the sense of them never having been said, but that written down is there in black and white for ever. Should remind us of thinking before speaking  aswell, so easy to shoot off words. Also, don't always know how words on paper sound to the receiver, and we don't always realise the causes of their behaviour/words to us. Save an email that's doubtful and go back a little while later to re-read before sending! Rhiannon

So true Shannan. Sometimes you can never take the words back. I have a rule in life ...

" Never drink and dial!"
