The orange tint

The sky at sunrise makes almost the entire world blanketed with an orange tint.

The mind at a state of impatience and rage makes the thoughts slightly glitched with an orange tint.

The birds chirping to the trees rustle makes the orange tinted world an unforgettable picturesque  memory. 

But the words uttered during those seconds of agitation get etched into the memories of the listener .

The sky line thin at the cities is clearly visible when the rays of the sun splash the blue canvas with streaks of orange , red and pink.

The thin line between understanding and assumption is also clearly visible through the expressions emoted by that thin region.

Everyone going about with their work is ignorant of this spectacular display.

It seems as if the orange tint makes itself shown explicitly through the clouds for those people.

This phenomenon seems to be happening when the mouth acts before the brain. 

This phenomenon of making something small but important explicitly visible to the eyes of those ignorant of it makes a great impact. 

It makes the hurt, the loss of respect and all the emotions that were felt in that small second so unforgettable that you just can't fail to learn from it.

Those learnings seem to be carved on a stone so deep that it will never weather off with any change in climate and composition.

Although small the impact of words is simply never erasable.

I would like to end with a thirukural which means: 

“The wound made by hurting with fire will heal but the wound created by harsh words uttered using our tongue leaves an indelible scar.”
