It Is A Form

Of Communication

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
We must be careful of our 'words'

“Words kill,

words give life,

they’re either poison

or fruit.

You choose”

‘Sticks and stones may break my bones

but words will never hurt me’.

We know this old school-ground saying

as a good defense

against bullying.

In the last few years,

however,

we have started to Learn

how “words” can

affect our Mental Health.

Speaking

is one of the first forms of communication

that we Learn as babies

and we grow up ‘copying’

what we hear.

From this,

we have learned

that some words can Encourage

and

some words can discourage.

Which

Builds Up Our Confidence

in Life Itself?

It does often come down to

‘think before you speak’!

This is one way

which makes us different

from the animals

we share our planet with.

That our words can physically change things

— for the good

or for the worst.

As we always like to hear Positive words

and someone saying: “Well Done You”,

we should use our words

to Build Confidence in others.

When our friends see us walking towards them,

how do they feel

about what we’re going to say to them?

Will we Smile and say a cheery “Hello”,

or will we frown and say something nasty?

Surely,

all of us want to Help others

by using our words for

Building up Self-esteem

and

Love towards Life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
