Why is it so much more acceptable to berate someone verbally than it is to do so physically?

Asked by Facade (22937points) November 18th, 2009

Both are wrong, of course. But normally, it’s more ok to abuse someone verbally than physically, even though mental and emotional wounds are far worse than physical ones.

Why do you think this is?
