I do believe people should speak nicely, and should use their words carefully. @loving-kindness taught me the concept of "well-spoken speech" and I hope to apply that sort of #wisdom.
Still, some people will not be nice, and I think we should all prepare for that. Toxic environments might not be going away, but we can still make them less toxic!
You'd be shocked if you hear the tone and the choice of words some parents and guardians use in communicating or scolding their children.
Sadly, yes... Sometimes people just choose the wrong words, sometimes they just don't think straight. I know a lot of peope can't hold back when they're angry. I think the best solution for those is to go away for a bit until they calm down, because these people also tend to fall into "I did no wrong/never apologize" syndrome, which doubles the damages to the children!
By the way...
Words have the power to do two things: (1) to make and (2) to mar.
What does "Mar/Marred" mean here?
