Proverbs 12:18

Politics have always been fraught with heated words, but social media has become a new medium for spreading contempt. People feel freer to share their hateful words from behind the safety of their screens, with little thought of who those words may hurt.

Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing (Proverbs 12:18).
