Communication in any form is
used for exchange of information. The links called words make communication
work. Without words it’s difficult to imagine how we could have come so long in
the history of human evolution. Word is not only a 4-letter thing, but it is
something deeper than that.
Whenever a word is uttered it is
due to synchronization of lip movement and tongue movement. To get out that word
from our mouth, a lot of thinking and analysis has been happening in our sub
conscious mind. We don't realize it because all this happens in less than one
millionth of a second. Most of the times we don't think over what we have
uttered. Word is not only a link, but it initiates response from the listener.
The word, which we have
uttered, acts on every part of the listener's body. Like if u share a joke using
a group of words, u make the listener to laugh. He may pound his hands and fist
and then calm down. The very word which u have uttered has allowed him to flush
his emotions out in the form of laughter or smile. If you talk about a tragic
incident, the listener may close his eyes for a second and offer his
condolences. Words uttered vibrate on the mind of the listener. It acts on his
mind. Selection and thought prior to communication is very important.
Sometimes we say things which
we shouldn't have or we carelessly utter unwanted words (mind you I am not
talking of abuses). These things may affect the other person emotionally and
mentally. For us it would have been just a matter of second to wag our tongue,
but for the listener it is going to be the only thing at the back of his mind.
By using unwanted words or speaking more than necessary, we not only hurt
someone, but we also add a spot of dust to our social image. Your future
interaction with the person may be based on that single word. Using proper words
while talking is just like selecting the items listed out by your mom from the
supermarket. You select the best brand from the specific domain, where your item
is found.
So guys watch before you speak
because the actions of the listener may be louder than your words!
