Bible of BS Case Study
“It’s not what you say it’s how you say it”. As cliche as this phrase is, it’s certainty cannot be overstated. Too often it is believed that as long what you say is correct then it cannot be BS. However, if whatever you communicate is done aggressively, chances are the tone of your voice is more destructive to the well being of the world than their “misbelief.” It doesn’t matter how much more “truthful” your view is than the opposition, yelling or exploding is a violation of several BS Commandments shown below.
It is an attack which is always BS – (Commandment X – Indecent Regard to Others)
Often times the relevance of whatever you’re cursing about is an exaggeration, and does not warrant shouting – (Commandment V – Misrepresentation)
It is rarely the best solution, definitely not long term, and hardly even short. Not only is it ineffective, often times it is counter-productive and worsens the situation – (Commandment 4 – Unresourceful)
The fact you believe it is effective, makes you ignorant – (Commandment 2 – Ignorant)
Yelling and lashing out are common tools to perpetuate toxic environments and cave into personal demons. If that is what your goal is, you’re definitely in the wrong place.
