We hear those who are brash and loud, and with that comes dissent, hate, and unkindness. Those are the words that resonate with us. The voices of decency are quiet, and often unheard, because there is no need for them to be heard, and we do not pay attention to it.
At work, we will have people who approach interactions in a similar manner. Those who deliver negative and harsh messaging and feedback, are typically loud, vocal and may even lose composure. We take note. The positive kind feedback is delivered with temperance and we barely recognize it.
Social media and internet communication mirror these behavior patterns. The negative is concerning, frustrating, and creates an adverse personal state. Good news and positive information leave us feeling positive and invigorated.
We may want to pay attention to those who are quiet and silence those who are loud to muffle their thoughtlessness.
