Some show it more than others but, deep down, we are all fragile. So many people have so much unreached potential due to the fact that their friends don’t understand their fragility. “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me”. That quote is misleading and incorrect. Words are so powerful and have the ability to impact lives. A few compliments can make someone’s day; maybe even someone’s life. At the end of the day, we are all brothers and we all share the same father: Hashem. In a place like Waterbury, where a lot of us all share that intense fragility, one should go above and beyond to reach out to that guy who never goes to anything or never participates etc. because it’s all just fear. Fear of failing, fear of not measuring up, fear of what others think... but kind words will alleviate the fear.
