...he was really saying "I love you"...oh my I love this movie....
I have a love/hate relationship with words. You may have noticed it. This post is about my hate relationship with words, at another time I will converse with you about my love relationship with words.
Words are so powerful and yet we are so careless with them. You would not drop a diamond ring on the ground and walk away from it, but how many of us have said something flippant and walked away, not acknowledging or even thinking of the impact on the recipient, have we lost a diamond of a friend, ally, colleague or lover.
Words can cut worse than a rapier. And people use them as such, then take no responsibility for the fallout.
"But I never hit you"....no but you used words against me so harshly that it was the same as a body blow.
"Do you really think that you need that piece of chocolate?"...no probably not, but now I have guilt when I eat chocolate from your question.
"I don't know why you bother with a beautician."...why? Because I am not beautiful enough in raw form, thus what is the point in trying to enhance a flawed product.
"Go around the fat lady to get to the apples"....is this the only way we can describe a person?
I am an extrovert (no I do not flash my boobs at anyone who walks past me), eventually nearly everything that floats around my troubled orb, will come out of my mouth. I am not so arrogant to believe that I know how every person will react to the words that I use, but I try to ensure that my words are thought out, carefully planned and measured. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail...but I always learn from the experience.
And now the really important use of words today....where can I get a Dread Pirate Roberts mask from...I already have my pirate!
