We hurt without moving. We poison without touching. We bear the truth and the lies. We are not to be judged by our size. What are we?
Common Wrong Answers
“Knives”
Knives can hurt and cause physical harm, but they require movement to do so, which contradicts the riddle's first line.
“Poison”
While poison can harm and 'poison' a situation, it typically requires physical contact to take effect, which does not align with the riddle's theme of hurting without moving.
“Thoughts”
Thoughts can bear truth and lies, but they do not have the capacity to hurt or poison in a direct manner as words do.
