the power of words
there is much truth in this statement… many current sources that influence other people’s lives through their words seem to do so without care, without thought or else with deliberate malice/self-interest/manipulative-intent aforethought. I think it’s true that great care should be taken in the words we use when we are trying to communicate clearly and […]
Christmas 2024
