The impact of our Words!
Words are powerful, use them wisely.
In this social media era, probably we almost forgot that. Otherwise, why so hate, why so much negativity, narcissism! This only I matter generation/trend makes us forget what we are saying, sharing and what's their impact.
Let me share a silly but powerful example!
You know the cartoon character Dora where she has a monkey friend named booths and she helps kids learn through his adventures. Well, this cartoon was not very popular during our childhood, I almost forgot about the detail of the episodes.
While scrolling through social media one piece of content came in front of me. The man was saying, now we are in an age where a little kid with her backpack will give us life lessons (it was a mockery/he was saying it negatively). And my mind was also agreeing like, yes, we don't need to take life lessons from anyone.
This incident happened years ago. I forget the detail of the content and in what channel I saw it. Anyway, the thing is, I almost agreed with what that narcissist was saying. I'm saying him narcissist because when I saw Dora with my son I found the cartoon very engaging and helpful for kids to learn. What a pity that man found out sweet Dora anything else. I mean, I would love to take life lessons from her.
Why I'm giving this example?
Because this is what happens in our daily life too. Can you remember how many times you thought something negative or sometimes positive was also based on someone else's statement? Maybe from media, from your friends or family. It happens because of the impact of our words. Words are powerful, we can make others biased, influenced just by using our words.
That was a life lesson for me, how quickly I can be influenced by words.
That's why whenever I feel like I should respond to something for revenge, I remind myself that my words are also powerful even if I'm not powerful. They will create an impact maybe I would not aware of just like the example of the man I have given you.
Choosing words wisely is the best thing we can do, right? What do you think?
Our words mean so much more than we think, we must never underestimate the power of our words or the words of other.
