Painful Words

The 10 of Swords tarot card reminds us that the words we use can be as sharp as daggers when you are careless with them or use them to inflict damage. Are you throwing words at people, trying to hurt them? Are you unaware that you are doing this? Because sometimes, intentionally or not, that is what you are doing. When you are careless with your words, speaking them to somebody without being mindful of a difficult time they are going through or triggering something within them that you could not have known about. Be mindful of this. Take care to handle these daggers gently as you hand them to somebody.

Verbal Attacks

These word daggers represented by the 10 of swords tarot card become exceptionally sharp when they are thrown intentionally. Harsh words can stab into a person unlike anything else. They can cause injury that may never heal. Be careful how you give somebody criticism. Do so in a way that does not inflict mortal damage. This is a powerful reminder from the 10 of swords tarot card.
