Problems, Conflcts & Words

by William S Cottringer — Read all 146 poems by William S Cottringer

Most problems and conflicts between people start with words

Wednesday, July 7, 2004

Life is problems,Life is conflicts;But problems & conflictsJust come from words—Words that imply judgment,superiority, control, dishonesty,certainty and insensitivity.The solution? Convey support—Equality, acceptance, freedom,honesty, tentativeness and empathy.Funny how half the problemis half the solution.

now this gives me something to ponder today. I agree about how half the problem is solution. So many times just using one word worng or not heard properly can cause so many problems.
Thanks for this one here

P.S. Be sure this little kitty doesn't catch a cold.
