Imagine if you had a thousand words left to speak in this life, and your last word would mean your last breath. What kind of things would you say; to your family, to your colleagues, to your superiors, to your younger ones, to that very annoying roommate, to that annoying salesperson, to everybody you came in contact with for that duration? Would you regret the words you “wasted”, or the things you said on empty stands, every lie you ever told, every empty talk you ever made? Would you learn to appreciate people more with your speech?
Our words are our creation and every word has the ability to bring to bear not only our thoughts but also to form and transform the lives of the people around and about us. Part of being human is communication, but what exactly do we use this expressive ability to do. What do we actually say in our lifetime? Is our speech full of a lot of words (even sentences) that we feel do not have a lot of meaning attached to them, or do we keep saying things we always wish we can go back and change? Our expression is very essential in survival. Though we all have a different path in life, our paths are all together intertwined for the “ultimate purpose”. So in essence, our words can either make or mar people.
Not necessarily oratory, but all together too; history tells of people who led wars and unified nations by words.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't speak at all. For years. There is such a thing as body language, there are hugs, taps and hot slaps...lol. I wouldn't say anything.
