Words...words...wonderful-words! Although, one can convey him or herself, to a certain, degree, without the use of 'oral'-language, it is our, 'words', which, we utilize to express ourselves, most, clearly. Certainly, when we offer someone a hug, that, person knows that we are expressing fondness for him or her. However, when we say 'I love you', there is no doubt as to what we mean. Words make our communication(s) and expression(s), much, more, specific to our thoughts and feelings, when they are used in a proper-fashion. When communicating our feelings, it is important to choose our words wisely. In the same vein that words tell others the 'good' we wish to impart, they, too, can be used to transmit, very, 'bad'-beliefs, emotions, and, feelings, with the ability to 'cut to the quick, and, hurt, those, whom we are aiming those, 'barbs', which, broadcast anything of a negative-nature. We've all heard the adage, 'If you can't say something nice about a person, say nothing at all.' Personally, I think this to be one of the most, astute, and, wisest- 'Wisdoms', which, one would 'work', into his or her life. For, why go out of one's way, to say hateful, hate-filled, and, horrible things to a person, or, about him or her, to a face, or, behind a back? Regardless, as to whether our 'unkind' words are heard, either by the person in focus, other people, or, nobody at all, they are STILL harmful; for, they are damaging to the person who holds them to heart. Whether we wish to embrace this, reality, or not, it is true...the more, 'negative'-stuff a person hangs onto, the MORE, negative, he or she will be. It's that simple! Additionally, it's, very, obvious, to others, how someone 'feels' inside him or herself, because, very, often, the evidence is in the choice of his or her 'words'. Another 'truism', that, I prefer to practice is this: 'It's better to say nothing, and be thought the fool, than to speak...and, remove, ALL, doubt!' Just Sayin'...
