Thanks to the gift from evolution with voicebox at the upper part of trachea, human are too good to be given the ability to talk, supplement by tongue, mouth and lips of course. So it's not wrong to say that conquering the planet now are a large group of Speakers, who converse like nobody when young but then develop to speak like a pro eventually contributing to their family, society, even the world like some of them do presently.
Let's focus on people around you yourself instead of looking at the entire population of Speakers. For sure, characteristics vary by the type of Speakers, say Active Speaker voices out their concerns with good attempt providing boundless excellent viewpoints; Passive Speaker only speaks when necessary; Main Speaker represents idea by resembling a number of thoughts from Quiet Speakers whereas Loud Speaker spread info efficiently. So you can see these Speakers are under the branch of Good Speakers that do good, fit to bring constructive results, delivering things up the level. As for the Bad company, the body composed of Spoilt Speaker that never sound nice at every moment they open their mouth; Candy Speaker who loves flirting around; Hidden Speakers who dish the dirt...etc.
For some portion of the people, i'm not sure why don't they think before they talk, yes they do have brain but why the h*ll they talk like no brain, bringing in witless remarks, discrediting their self-value.. izit b'cz they deliberately do so to cheapen themselves or perhaps their brains are just a chunk of rotten inept folded tubes merely filling up the space inside the skull..
Okay nevermind let's move on to another category- Bow&Arrow Speaker. They have well-functioning brain but sadly they don't use it when talking, never care or put other people's feeling into consideration, throwing words that are likely to pierce through one's soul (on purpose? or not? ah don't care)
Personally, people i'm not comfortable with are those who make sarcastic remarks ALL THE TIME, bring up laughter using irony incessantly, prone to lashing out at the wrong time that are going to offend people around (i wonder if they realized)
Well listening without defending is almost my nature as long as they do not cross the line but when Cactus blunts out vitriolic words attacking Tender Flower, i'm more inclined to make a stand against the Cactus or remark that are conducive in balancing the Cactus's harsh nature or..... anything, just anything!.. as long as i get to watch the Flowers' back, cz you you're going to agree with me that it feels utterly bad to see our friends being offended and it even kills us to look at them being hurt and helpless don't ya.
It's all about remarks after all. An encouraging word can help a person to make through the day while a destructive word could scroll a person from high up the sky to deep down in the ground. Sometimes parents might not realized that their "no need to go la" may daunt their son/daughter; while a single phrase "where can?!" from a teammate could sabotage one's effort and confidence in the pursuit of excellence. You now see how powerful the impact is a word could convey, so be cautious of how and what you speak cz you can either help people to shake off sticky patch, or kill them by verbalizing words that are powerful enough to smash them into pieces.
So, speak life, not disaster.
