Don't be blinded by your first impressions. When you actually know someone, you know what they stand for, what they fight for day by day. You know why they decide to survive day by day. Just because you don't like someone because of the crowd they hang with or the clothes they where or even how they look doesn't mean that they aren't the kinda people that will shine or make a difference in life. If you even take a second out of your day to say hello to one of these people, you may have just given him or her the recognition that they longed for. Even sitting down and offering advice to a person you just met or having a meaningful conversation with a homeless person, all it takes is a single simple conversation to change another persons life. Now the ability of speech is what some may think is a gift from god, or an evolutionary trait of the human species. But there are two different ways to use this extraordinary. One way is to speak good of anything that comes to mind. The other is of a more abusive and negative way that hurts and harms people. Now when you talk to someone generously in a mannerly fashion you tend to get the same mannerly reply. But if you speak to someone in a rude, vulgar and insulting way you will be replied with either an unhappy tone, or a reply just as crude as the one you gave. The way you speak to another person defines your position towards them; friend or foe. What you talk about can also affect the way a person thinks. For example if you call a person hideous, that person may consider him or her self hideous. I see people insulting each other every day and they don't think of the long term damage it causes. Girls call each other fat and ugly everyday and they spend the rest of their lives thinking that they are fat and ugly no matter what their loved ones say to them. So remember if your gonna say something to someone, say something nice. It may just be the kick start they need to be happy. You can change a person just by being nice to them or encouraging them to do the right thing.
