You’re right. Half the time I don’t think anyone realizes how what they say affects others. The recipient might have the patience and take the time to explain it to them so it can be a teaching-learning moment, but most of the time the silence speaks and there is a diminishment that is felt both inwardly and outwardly.
Just playing with essential truth …
Good one!

Thanks, Jazz. I had the word “such” stuck in my head, and I needed to get it out.

Thanks, Lisa. And thank you for this observation. Consequences. We’re too often aware of them only when we experience them ourselves.
