discretion.

Discretion is not practiced in daily life anymore in our society. The dictionary meaning for discretion is " the quality of being discreet." Sadly, no one understands those letters that forms those words. Don't get me wrong, a little comment now and then is no big deal, but there is nothing wrong with thinking before speaking. I myself have to practice with that, because I am a Drye and Drye's just blurt things out sometimes that is coated with sarcasm, but I really am trying to get better. What is so hard about thinking through your combination of words before blurting and making sure those words will not come across insulting to the person that those words are directed toward. For example: I know it is a common phrase that many people use and mean no harm, but the whole "How are you? You look so tired!" needs to be flushed down the drain and taken out of our vocabulary. No matter how a person means that to sound, it comes across to the other person that they have bags under their eyes and look disheveled. That equals an insult. No one means for it to happen,but just admit it and realize it does.  There are many other phrases that are insulting as well. When you think about it though, some are not insulting until the second phrase. For example: 

Stranger 1: "Hey, your hair looks different!"

Stranger 2: " Yea.. Does it look ok?"

Stranger1: (heres the insult)"Uhh...it just looks small (meaning flat)"

DING DING DING....bad move. Discretion seriously. Its all in the wording.

Of course, none of these phrases are meant as an insult. It just happens. And now that you know that it does in fact happen, lets change society and begin using discretion again and decrease the insult number by thinking before speaking.
