word can hurt . word can amaze .

Words are powerful, and they can influence us without us even realize it. If not, I can’t come out with my own quote which is ‘war is not when the word is wrong, but, war is when the word you say is wrong.’

Since word can make two parties in war, that is why I believe the existence of EUPHEMISMS and DYSPHEMISMS.

However, what is the meaning of euphemisms?

Besides, what is the meaning of dysphemism?

EUPHEMISMS	DYSPHEMISMS
A milder or more positive expression used to replace a negative or unpleasant one.	Replacing a neutral or positive expression with a negative or unpleasant one.

feel free to watch this video and see on how your word can change your day.

Generally, euphemism is less insulting synonyms, when a word or phrase used in place of a term that might be considered to direct, harsh, unpleasant or offensive. We can claim euphemisms as laser person during their talk since they don’t really care about others feelings.

On the other hand, dysphemism is more proper and gentle, when the speaker speaks more polite and the speaker manages to think first before say anything. Even when the speaker was not satisfy with something and feel anger but, he still know on how to control his words without hurting other parties.

As public, which one is more proper?

BANTUAN RAKYAT 1 MALAYSIA? RASUAH RAKYAT 1 MALAYSIA?

In order to influence others, we can change our word. If the media write ‘RASUAH’ for sure nobody will believe our government, right? So, instead of using the word ‘ RASUAH’, it is more polite to use ‘BANTUAN’. Indirectly, we as public will never think about the negative side of our government, right?

Sorry to say, I am writing not to condemn, but, this is the most powerful example that I can show about the powerful of words.

I guess this post is just a reminder. Be honest, but be nice. Avoid to hurt others heart with your words. Don’t forget that something you say could stick with someone for the rest of their lives. Watch your mouth!
