Words are expressions of our mental attitudes. Whatever we think will be transformed into verbal explanations. So we have to be very careful of what we say, because words once spoken cannot be taken back.
Our thoughts, attitudes, mental impressions, childhood experiences all affect our speech which is only a reflection of these. We only communicate what we really think. Some people think one thing and say another that is superficial and will easily be recognized because facial expressions give the game away.
Words should be spoken carefully and thoughtfully because it will echo our mental reaction immediately and it may affect us in a great way. Never talk bad about others in front of children because they are not wise enough yet to keep quiet or speak according to occasion.
We may want to show ourselves of in front of scholarly people but do not make a mistake by uttering things you may not know properly and make a fool of your self.
There is a saying from Hindu scriptures- Mounam vidwana Bhooshanam – it means that silence is the ornament of the wise. They do not enter into unnecessary arguments like a common crow.
When a person babbles all the time, he not only degrades himself but also loses his energy and time. Silence increases the power of concentration and gives one power. Speaking continuously will only help to increase mental tension and anger. Unwelcome words may be spoken and can create enemies for ever. Words have a strange power that can uproot a person’s status even.
Divorces mainly occur because spouses do not hesitate to mouth words that will affect their relationship. Unfortunately ego makes man think that by talking in a superior tone he will win. But that is not the case. Unfriendly words will antagonize even more and make enemies out of blood relations even.
There are two ways to talk. You can request somebody to fetch a thing by adding please and you can order the person to do it by shouting and threats. A request is readily complied and a threat will only make an enemy. So make sure that you are polite in your talk so as to get desired results and to be thought of as a gentleman. Manners are always well respected.
We make or break friends by our speech. We must be careful and thoughtful about what we say and save ourselves, because what we say may go against us.
