Simplified Meaning:
Words can be very powerful and can hurt people just like a knife, but without causing any physical wounds. For example, if you say something mean or unkind to a friend, they might feel very sad or upset, even though they aren’t hurt physically. This is similar to bullying in school, where mean comments can make someone feel bad about themselves for a long time. Even though there are no bruises or cuts, the pain on the inside can be very real and lasting. It’s important to be careful with what we say and try to speak kindly to others. This way, we avoid causing invisible harm that can affect someone’s feelings and mental health.
