Words can hurt
I remember the pain most vividly. My stomach
was sick, my heart hurt, and my eyes stung(
刺痛的) from holding back tears.
“you know, Autumn,” my friend Nick said, “Lisa and
Andrea were just talking about you.” I immediately got nervous. “They said that
the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach
(教练)likes you .It’s not because
you’re good.” I might be sick. “They said they’re tired of you always getting
what you want.”
I struggled to keep myself from crying, sinking
(下沉) to my knees on the cold floor.
After Nick told me everything my supposed best friends said about me, I was
hurt.
Lisa and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if
nothing had happened . Lisa was still my deskmate, and Andrea was still my
partner for our history project.
I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had the
perfect friendship, especially since they’d said such hurtful things.
I was a freshman in high school, and I felt like I
didn’t have a friend in the world, all because of a rumor
(谣言).
The tongue can be our worst enemy. Rumors harm
confidence
(信心) and separate close friends. They are like sharp knives, cutting
one’s dignity(尊严) into pieces. When we say unkind
things about others, we’re thrusting(插) knives into
their hearts.
So how was I to act next? When Lisa and Andrea
pretended our friendship hadn’t changed, I thought of attacking them back. But
instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me. Lisa started crying and
Andrea was speechless. I know they were both sorry for what they had said. They
apologized, and I forgave them with grace(
优雅). Sure, things were a little
awkward(尴尬) at first, but soon enough everything was
back to the way it had been before.
I still deal with gossip
(流言), sometimes as a recipient(接受者) and sometimes as a participant(参与者). But
the more I learn about love, the more I realize the importance of encouraging
others- sometimes gossip never does.
