people are told to drink alcohol responsibly—we should also tell people to speak responsibly. words can hurt, contrary to popular opinion. in fact, words shape and affect our world in profound ways. so i have decided to pay close attention to which words i use, how i use them and why i use them. from now on, i want to use language consciously and responsibly, instead of just throwing words around as if they don't matter.
especially in today's age of information overload, words can drastically influence our lives, for better or worse. because we are all surrounded by countless amounts of words, it's easy to dismiss words as insignificant. yet . . . certain words, in certain context, have become influential and powerful part of human culture.
we are all becoming lazy and sloppy when it comes to how we utilize language, professionally as well as in everyday life. next time you are about to speak or write something, use language responsibly—because words matter !!
