Wisdom of the day:
Talk sweetly.
(From HappyThings, see the links)
Indeed, what do you achieve by nagging, making sarcastic comments, talking rudely? What we say is what we are. I think if you make the effort to talk nicely, treat others nicely, it eventually makes us nice. I know, my English teacher told us to avoid the word "nice" but I had to make a point...
Think about customer service personnel. Even ignorant, cold communication can get you what you want but it also alienates you. You can feel like shit inside but if you talk sweetly, even in a superficial way, you allow people approach you, break through your shield, and maybe make it all better. It´s also fair towards others not to spread your own angst, in other words, take it out on others.
Talk is something subconscious, something you don´t really pay attention to in everyday life. But it works wonders. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can break hearts." Are you in bad terms with someone? Try talking sweetly and see what it does to the situation.
Noble noble thougts... I´m not trying to be philosophical here. Talking sweetly to everyone is just a dead easy way to make the world a little better, that´s all.
Cute kittie!
