I’ve been thinking about words today. I have had the opportunity to speak with a couple of people who don’t get how much their words hurt other people. They don’t like someone, so rather than lift up the good qualities of that person, they hold up the deficiencies of the person they don’t like. Is that OK? Well, technically, we all have areas that we are not so good in, and that is a fact. It is generally not rumor, but that still does not make it ok to tell other people.
You see, I believe that we all have choices to make each and every day about how we act, and how that will influence other people. I get to choose what words I use, as well as what words I listen to. Does it matter? You bet it matters. After a while, if people don’t have anyone that will listen to their trash talk about other people, they just might stop talking trash. Wouldn’t it be great if there were no trash talk to worry about? Let us all do our part to dispose of the trash talk. May it be so.
