I liked this. It has a nice, relaxed pace, relaying a logical idea. I agree that words have the power to soothe or to wound. "Courtesy costs nothing but buys everything." Nicely done, A. I enjoyed it.

Hi Alcreator,
Words are powerful and can sway our thoughts, whether they be positive or negative. You have given lots to think about in this article.
Thanks for sharing.

Alcreator,

This writing is a good reminder of just how important words are. If spoken kindly, most often ideas will be accepted; if spoken harshly, ideas will be rejected.

When the Bible talks of the tongue, it is mostly a metaphor for words or speech. In the King James translation, the word tongue appears 126 times, and tongues is there 34 times.


Jame 3:5 (KJS) Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Thanks for the thought provoking words.

Curtis

A very real problem we have in accepting that war can be a good thing, No doubt war is an evil, the greatest catastrophe that befalls human beings. It brings death and destruction, disease and starvation, poverty, and ruin in its wake. If words were used wisely and positively, in negotiating we would all be better off. I personally cannot see the wars ever stopping, a sad thought but true.

YOUR sage advice is invaluable in these quarrelsome times and high-mindedness. I will certainly try to speak wisely - and remember that a soft answer turn away wrath - as well as remember the power of silence.

I found one single thing that might be a misspelled word, I'll let you decide: Use words unwisely and invite wars, battles, confrontations, disputes, discords or tussles and be mad (made) to live isolated, solitary, stressed, strained or frustrated.

This was well written, and very easy to read and understand. It was interesting and very instructive. I enjoyed it.

Always with respect,

I agree. There is much wisdom here. It is very true that courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything. Peace is worth striving for.

The author gives us an interesting subject about the comunication between people and countries, recomending to be very cautious  in our expressions to others and the use of our language in a wisdom way, with courrtesy.respect and self control.
Also says all the wrongful use of words mentioning imporatnt negative expressions:
 derogative, defamatory, insensible, hateful, partial, unjustifiable, foolish, unlawful, immodest, foul, false, fabricated, distorted, assumed, presumed,
He says that this is not easy and is a challenge for all of us tolearn how behave and hoe speak to others.
Is an educative writing.
I like it
Congratulations to the author
