Adulting

When the control is in your hand, 
you should know when to stop and when to use, 
no matter what it is: words or weapons.
Otherwise, it will destroy the controller: 
like, someone is stabbing the holder's back 
by bending the holder's hand.

Like, the truth you had said 
thinking the listener is your friend,
but later found that 
they were the people 
who had defamed you by spreading that.

Are people worth trusting?
Doesn't a knife cause you less pain than treachery?
