A Soft Word Turns Away WrathHow many times have we discussed this? Why is it that you find it necessary to holler about stuff like where your scissors are, etc.?
A gentile North Carolina girl learns to discuss matters in a soft tone. They indirectly touch at the emotion of the situation, without resorting to the guttural nature of hollering. I say, they save the guttural for the tennis courts. These are the same women who find strength in grunting at their backhand crosscourt shot.
I find this a guttural practice, myself. Still, I can see the effectiveness of evoking an intimidation response from your opponent. You stand there and say, is that going to be a harder ball to return? You really do, but if it's not followed by power, it serves the opposite purpose. It serves to create an anger and intensity that it wasn't supposed to, at least in my heart. The intensity that it produces is not usually an easy one to overcome.
Anyway, keep it down in the morning about your, stupid scissors. Would you?
