We may know better than to use them in such a way (although, I would question that), but that doesn't mean that we wouldn't or be inclined to do so. It boils down to the ethical/moral and spiritual maturity of the person. The impact of words in never short term. Even if it's mostly forgotten after the fact, as word's influence can linger for a very long time. Sometimes for a lifetime. Words generate ideas, thoughts, symbols, which can impact the very essence of a person's being. Even the most innocuous and simple words can have a great impact, whether it's realised immediately or not, consciously remembered or kept hidden in the recesses of the subconscious.
