PLAYING WITH WORDS
We always have reasons for doing and excuses for not doing something. In order to justify our actions we play with words.
People play with words and the more they can the more intellectual they are. Some of them are called writers, poets, philosophers and so on. Those who can not play with words are called simpletons or straight forward or down to earth and so on.
Playing with or not playing with words does not make one good or bad or honest or dishonest or truthful or otherwise. But somehow people who play with words are smart if not cunning. They can handle situations to their advantage and still pretend to be kind and helpful. Those who cannot play with words can land themselves into problems as their calling a spade a spade may not keep them in good steed.
People in general do not like a straight talker. They like a person who can say a lot but mean nothing. Like if I do not like your dress I may say so straightway or may say you look good but white suits you the best or some words like that. In first case you will not like my straight talk in second case you will think of trying white next time.
Playing with words can also be equated with political correctness. This helps in offending none but at the same time siding with neither. In a dispute like situation they will not take sides but will be seen on the side,of the right not indicating who is wrong. This is very helpful in seeking favors from both.
Playing with words is helpful in keeping your spouse in good humor. It comes with experience but is worth the trouble. Many unpleasant situations can be avoided if one knows the right words to mouth at the right time.
Some guys never learn this art or is it science? Never mind.
