Temperature of the language!!

We have heard the word temperature many times in our life. Our overall health is often reliant upon temperature in many ways as well. Many things like human body, animals, food, beverage, weather, agriculture have temperature. These things need a particular temperature to be in good and balanced condition. Any tampering with it may have adverse effect on these things.Maintaining proper temperature to have better sustainability is necessary.

How would you feel if I say that your words have temperature, the language you speak has temperature? Yes, you heard me right, I am talking about temperature of the words. I mean not literally in physical term but still the words you speak really have temperature.

Sometimes, when we are furious we speak harsh words or we bully people with harsh words to have fun. We taunt people, we make fun of them. All such words which hurt someone or which hurt their feelings have highest temperature. Those are not good for mental health, heart, peace, happiness. We might not think before we speak but our words have tremendous effect on other person. Sometimes we do not have intention to hurt anyone with our words but that cannot be excuse to use words which will still hurt them.

There are words which have warmth, which are cozy. Words which will make you feel like home. Words which will cheer up someone, which will spread smile across someone’s face. Words which will give you peace, words which will make world a beautiful place. These are words with balanced temperature. And they will never let you get sick or make you feel bad. Though sometimes it’s not in our control to speak good or bad words cause human species are driven by emotions. And emotions control words most time, but we have senses to know that some emotions might lead you to take action which will hurt people. That time you can always choose to keep quiet and calm. People will never remember what you did to them, what you brought for them, but they will always remember how you made them feel.

So, as you learnt now that words too have temperature, use them wisely. Words can either make or break a person. Words are very powerful and with great power comes great responsibility.
