My Mom used to tell me that all the time and wanted me to practice that theory but somehow, it was too much of a bitter pill to swallow because name-calling, "simple" name-calling also hurt and it hurt a lot. Fast forward then to the verbal abuse that existed in my marriage and the ramifications of that on my own state of mind and I realized -again-how difficult it can be to deal with something like harsh words. So yes indeed, words are a very powerful entity and should be used very carefully! Who knows what issues lurk in others minds that can easily then be turned and twisted simply by our words and look at the havoc then that this has the potential to create.<br />You are spot-on with this post and I hope if even just a few people read this and understand how easily they can turn a situation into something terrible simply by a few poorly chosen words, then that is a good accomplishment for you. <br />Peace!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-38391808910379767702011-01-12T13:05:54.380-04:002011-01-12T13:05:54.380-04:00Tannedon: Thank you for saying this.

I think we have struck up a viable and valuable friendship. <br /><br />Your family has become part of my life in that I now interject stories about the "kids" or wonder where they are and what they're up to, or I say "Kendall's mother said..." when talking to my own mother. <br /><br />I don't view you through a political pair of glasses and don't think that you need to be like me to be liked, loved or accepted. I have many friends and family members who share the same political views you do. <br /><br />I wish the country could be as you described, and I'm sure people who have relationships like ours, think it is. The bigger problem is the people who have the ear of the nation and with their television shows, reach millions. They really need to temper what hatred they put out there. This is not a "free speech" issue. Just because speech is free, it shouldn't be used to spread hate and dissent among people.<br /><br />A friend of mine just said in an email to me last night, "Words are powerful, that's the basis of spin. Say something long enough and loud enough and it is fact."<br /><br />Not only is that true, it's also a bit frightening.The Daily Ranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489187226759792239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-50009012208336441832011-01-12T09:25:10.384-04:002011-01-12T09:25:10.384-04:00Oddly enough I was thinking about partisan politic...Oddly enough I was thinking about partisan politics this morning when I woke up. It occurred to me that each one of us has developed our political leanings from our upbringing and our life experiences. Sort of like prescription glasses, the older you get the stronger your glasses get. The trick is, you have to take those glasses off, yes things will be blurry to you, but maybe if you squint real hard you might be able to see things a different way. Salena and I have never met, and are polar opposites in our political views, but that does not mean a thing to me. We have struck up a very viable friendship. She has shown unbelievable kindness and support to my family and I will never be able to thank her and Ed enough. I don't view her through "my glasses" and I don't think she does me either. I guess that makes us a microcosm of what I wish the country could be.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550415129967635998noreply@blogger.com
