Word selection

The wonders of word selection...

Like i previously mentioned... I now attend a part time interest, during class ... lecturer drew three lumps...

"What do you guys think this means?"

A lot of us laughed... "Cowboy hat, Mountains, Bird-eye view of Elephant, Banana, etc"
None of us said what we laughed about...

He started to say that in many cases, our brain would consider other influences - Environment, Circumstances, People... and we tend to choose what we would "re-word" what is appropriate.

On the other side of the world, we have people who would just say anything at all... without thinking. Some people even loves to speak down to other people just to make themselves feel good. Some even to the extend just to piss someone off...

Words are just words, it can be a powerful tool how we use it. - Jolene Loh
