Words can inspire and destroy. They can get you fired as well as drive you to destructive behavior. The bully pulpit has caused chaos and as has been seen through history its been a place where people can be worked up into a frenzy. Maybe people should pause before peril ensues.
“Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.”
–Napoleon Hill
Words can wage war as well as negotiate peace, depending on the use. Nice thought indeed.

It is a great thought. I am working on not being such a reactionary to such bad thoughts. However, it is very hard to stay quiet and let the bullies prevail. It is hard to let people be mean and not call them out. Wrong is wrong, right is right. Working on it…
