“Shut up!” We've all said it. Whether to a sibling or a friend, or God forbid, to a parent or teacher. I doubt there's a single person who hasn't expressed this annoyance at someone. And to some degree, vocalizing those two words comes with consequence, whether direct or indirect. They convey a level of disrespect--of disregard for what the other individual was saying. Because of these words, friendships have ended, trust has been broken, and, as was the case with Titanic, lives have been lost. --- Music: Organic Meditations Three Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
