Meaning

Words Matter

By January 19, 2021 No Comments

Nothing could be more obvious. Words DO matter.

How we communicate and what we say matters. Our words are easily misinterpreted because we carry different definitions and frames of reference.

For example, the word RETIREMENT means different things to different people. You might see it as an endless game of golf, while someone else sees it as time with children and grandchildren.

Others might see it as time to devote to charitable or other purposeful causes. Another might see it as time for a new job, encore career, or worse… a treacherous time of financial insecurity, fear, and illness.

You see, we all have different definitions. And while words DO matter, it is necessary to share what meaning we hold in those words.

The same idea applies to politics and religion.

Words Matter.
