Words Matter

Before I continue with Benjamin Franklin’s virtues, I need an intermediate objective: Words matter.

We can conclude that words matter from at least two angles – the right words are required, and we want to avoid the wrong words.

[I have had valuable feedback – thank you. I will describe the logical connections better. I do not want you to be left with the erroneous idea that the if-then statements are all independent. The fundamental principles form the start of the logic and lead to the intermediate ideas/concepts/objectives (IO), with links between the intermediate objectives leading to the final statement.]

A) If people have other people as resources and people are interconnected and, everything has limits, then people require help from others.

A to B) If people require help from others and the inside cannot affect the outside unless the inside is let out, people must communicate their needs.

C) If people are different from each other, then people understand words differently. If people understand words differently and people are reactive, people will react negatively to perceived wrong words.

D) If people are reactive and people want to be effective (our global injections), people want to prevent negative reactions.

B+C+D) If people must communicate their needs and will react negatively to perceived wrong words, and want to prevent negative reactions, then words matter.
