Agrree. I rather shut up and hang up the phone in heated argument rather continue it and then say something i'll regret forever.

Kristina: I also admire and appreciate those who use words well, whether spoken or written. So many people forget to think before they speak and often don't realize the consequences until it's too late, if ever. This is great advice and I really enjoyed this post. Thanks for being part of the Revolution!

Words are a dangerous thing in our little online world, cause they are all we have. I recently ran into this with a friend who wrote some stuff to/about me in total jest. He's a sarcastic little SOB (gee, like someone I know!) and never meant any harm. But you know what. They definitely were not words I wanted to see and things I didn't want to hear. He asked if he hurt my feelings. I said yes. He felt horrible and apologized. We virtually hugged it out. All is better now.

Which I guess is one of the funny things about words. One minute they can make your so angry you're ready to put your fightin' pants on, the next they make everything all better.

Kris: This is a fabulous post! I love how you say there is power in words…Actions speak loudly, but words have a power all their own. They can harm or they can do good; they can make you cry or they can make you smile. Think about it — we use words in social networking with the likes of Twitter and these blogs, but so often it's revealed that what you say can speak volumes because those thoughts can easily be misinterpreted, misunderstood.

Words have power. And like anything with power, we have to wield it wisely.

Terrific post!

I really liked this post.

Plato said: If you're going to speak, you better beat silence (I'm paraphrasing here, I read it in spanish!)

Nice job Kris.
