Words can be powerful even devastating. Why has our society shifted into a world of hateful remarks, put-downs and gossip? Well, I am sick of it! People have nothing better to do than pick on others’?
I am referring to adults! That’s the sad part-these are grown-ups!
Words have:
-Freed slaves
-Enslaved people
-Created the atomic bomb
-Started wars
This really makes me think, the next time I am getting ready to say something negative, I will try my best to STOP!
A word can make me feel great! A word can also make me feel lower than dirt!
Now we live in a world with constant put-downs! It’s getting old, real fast! Why would I want to listen if all I hear are negative remarks and gossip! My brain tunes out that information. Has there been a shift in society where others’ feel better putting people down?
That is cruel. Maybe the old days of being polite need revisited.
I beleive people rise to our expectations.
