I've said it before, we are judgmental creatures, not all the time intentional but we do, and with not the words we say but the looks we give. I can not express the hurt that I have felt because of judgemental eyes staring at me, I have 3 kids at a young age that is to be expected? Niceness. Pause for laughter...... The judgment that I have felt searing into my back."Oh poor her" "Better her than me". I've heard the whispers, half of my thoughts consist of "Yes better me than you because I can handle it can you? " It is absolutely indulging the words that come out of people's mouths. The rudeness that they say. Aren't you supposed to think before you speak or does that not fit into the 2018 agenda?
A lot of the time, we blurt things out that we did not mean, a word without a thought, these words often cause strife between parties. I've blurted out hurtful words to someone, well about them without a thought and a friendship was broken right then and there.I now understand what the Golden rule is, "Think before you speak it may come back to bite you" So true in many ways. Our words can be misleading and have a powerful message at the same time. We have to learn a middle ground where we can communicate a message clearly using words that everyone can understand and not feel like a fool or dumb because they didn't understand.
Communicating is how the human population thrives, we should be experts by now. you'd think? But if there is not a constant use of proper communication skills to one another, the skills we once knew become forgotten and what we say can hurt others more than help. Look at it like this with the advanced way that humans can be communicated and interact with one another, at such an advanced age in time we are still limited on what we say, we still find ways to avoid the truth, niceness and how we really feel. We hide behind our smartphones and computer desks and let A.I speak for us. What is the dating world like today? A swipe left on Tinder? You met, You hook up and swipe left again. where is the connection, the laughter, the pain? I wonder what would happen if our electrical grid was wiped could humanity survive? Trust me, I rely just like you on the wonders of technology but my world does not revolve around it. I can find ways to interact and live a meaningful life without it. Could you? Do you truly know the things you say to the people around you, would you still know what to say if Your voice couldn't be heard? You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, you should judge what you say before you say it.
Thanks,
Maddie
