Your words are a tool. They’re a convoy of every emotion the human brain possesses. They’re incapable of reflecting our highest highs (of high school football).
They’re capable of causing great pain.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ يَنْزِلُ بِهَا فِي النَّارِ أَبْعَدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ
”Verily, the servant may speak a single word for which he plummets into the Hellfire farther than the distance between East and West.”

Didn’t come all this way to preach. Figured if I’m going to say something, might as well say this.
As you were.
