“Speak what we feel and not what we ought to say” William Shakespeare


“Speak what we feel and not what we ought to say”
The ability to speak our thoughts and feelings is essentially what it means to be human. Yet this gift of communication seems to be conditioned by unspoken rules that prevent us saying what we really mean and this inhibits real communication. “just sayin” is an attempt to apply the words spoken above by William Shakespeare, who identified hundreds of years ago that people were not keeping it real by saying what they ought to have said rather than what they really felt.

Having said that, I also believe that what we speak comes with a responsibility: to be respectful to self and others in our use of speech, this is the gift of true communication that we give to others. After all, when we speak we would like to be respectfully heard, therefore we should respectfully speak.

So, ‘just sayin’.... have the courage to say what you mean and mean what you say….Speak what you feel and not what you ought to say, and that’s what I will be doing with this blog in my effort to makes sense of the world and everything in it.
