The importance of well chosen words

May 3, 2012 11:20am CST
Sometimes we get so careless in our words specially during the height of our emotions. We might say words that are inappropriate and without knowing it you already offended and hurt others.To late to realize that you are sorry, you cant take back time its already been said that is why it is important to chose or be careful the words you are going to use since it also reflects of who you are. Its not the words we know that show wisdom but how and when we use them.

I agree 100% with you. Words carry a specific frequency where energy is concerned and can be healing or hurtful. We can also use positive words to lift ourselves and other people emotionally. Some of my favorite words are gratitude, love, joy and abundance. Certain words that no longer have a place in my vocabulary are: Hate, can't and should.

Hi Shirly, Would you like to borrow my eraser? It is there on my desk to remind me that mistakes can be forgiven and things can be rewritten. Just remember to return it ok. Those that keep notes that got written in angry haste except those that were dear can be forgotten or replaced by sincere ones of apology should really think about doing so, don’t you think so?

I agree with you that mistakes can be forgiven, even God give us countless chance to correct our wrong but we should bare in mind that it is countless and i don't think its good to use that countless chance on the same mistake. That is why we have to learn, to grow....

Yes, the way we talk to someone is important, especially when meeting them for the first time. Our first impression and choice of words is everything and can either make or break a relationship, friendship, job choice, etc. Once you say something mean or bad there is no going back, and it often lingers in the back of that persons mind forever.

It is really both the words that are being said and the tone that they are being said that can really say a lot about what a person intends to say. There are times where if you switch around a few words, change your tone, then pretty much everything that you say can be interpreted in a different way. There are just times where how you say it, along with what you say is rather anything. Of course, for some instances, no matter what you say, you are going to likely offend someone. So you got to make the choice of whether or not to speak or throw caution to the wind and risk causing some great offense to someone out there. Yet, you really got to think of what you say but there are people who ignore that little filter that is in the back of their head. The one that tells them this might not be such a good idea to say.

I think this is very true. When you are in the heat of an argument, all you want to do is tell them how you feel. Not necessarily thinking about what words you are choosing to use in the talking. Sometimes you have a word in mind, but it's not necessarily the right word. language is very hard for everyone. Words mean so many things that sometimes it's hard not to say something that you don't mean, causing conflict.

Yeah,that's how my father always told me to say to others.I think this is important and also useful for me in times that i step into the world.Just learn it and think about before saying anything out.

I agree as well and it is so true that words carry such power and weight. What we say and how we say it is so important. That's why I try to be careful about what I say and think before I speak. The bad part is that sometimes I don't speak my mind out of fear of upsetting someone. The good part is that I don't often say things that I end up regretting. When I do speak without thinking it gets me into trouble. Sometimes I wish I could speak up more though. Nothing is perfect.

I agree with you that you should always think first before opening your mouth. Once you've said something you shouldn't have, it's too late. Sometimes people say things that they didn't really mean too such as when in an argument or a fight and you just can't help but speak your mind.

I suffer from lack of memory.Sometimes I can't express my thoughts very well. i think it is due to the fact that I didn't pay attention to the chat sites where people express them in full You will overcome this problem with time after reading others comments participating in pools is essential They use many synonym words that help you to express your thoughts in more than one way.I think the problem is in two little practice in speaking.

We should really be careful in saying words since it could hurt or even change a person. Words are too powerful that it can also give hope or inspiration to others. We tend to speak bad words or unnecessary words when we are angry. So better to calm ourselves first so that we can think first before we speak.
