Mary Lindow ~ The Messenger Podcast

By Mary Lindow This message just"might" hit close to home.   I have been thinking a lot this week about arrogance and those finger pointing individuals who enjoy belittling others and simply love to be plain old snarky. Just look at the headlines of newspapers, Internet news and gossip columns! With the stroke of a key or two, words written imply things that can break hearts, ruin trust, hope, National Security and relationships. THERE IS SUCH A HARSH STING TO THE HEART   WHEN THE CRUEL WORDS OF SOMEONE ELSE INTENTIONALLY  DOES A VERBAL SLAP DOWN OR SHAMES YOU. Usually it occurs when THEY believe that THEY are absolutely right or have "superior" knowledge, and that others are the "lesser" and are the "wrong- big- dummies". This mean and sour arrogance, which uses power to belittle or harm others, is something that crushes and cripples hearts and dreams. It's a secret and deep seething storm inside of the soul of those who feel they have rights and superior thinking that justifies weaponizing words. Y
