Commas Can Make A Big Difference!

I remember when I was in 11^th grade; Mrs. Hewsen taught me the importance of punctuation.

A panda eat shoots and leaves.  What?

So, a panda eats, than he shoots something or someone than leaves?
Does that make sense to you?
I hope not.

Panda first off don’t have thumbs to shoot, nevertheless hold a gun, and where would they found one anyway. They can’t just walk into a store and buy one, can they? Huh..maybe pandas have a secret society we don’t know about now

Now try this.

A panda eat shoots, and leaves.

This makes so much more sense now. A panda eats shoots, which is a kind of bamboo if you didn’t know that, and leaves. This work for our human society knowledge of panda, because it is more common to happen, and it’s kind of common sense if you can say.

Commas Can Make A Big Difference!

The art of communicating

                                

Why do we need language?

Isn't body language enough? We can make hand signals and draw pictures. But why isn’t that enough?

A spoken language and a body language perform differently. They can overlap to some extent but they are different.  Our needs for body language such as facial expression exist to show emotions, but when that (emotion) doesn't get across what do we do? This is when a spoken language kicks in. By talking and communicating we can get across with others faster and more efficiently.  Both are important, neither can work in the others place.

Can you imagine having to use only our body to talk? Our “sign language” can only take us so far. There will be a point where you will have to get something across to another person but can’t. How frustrating would that be?

This is why sign language evolves into spoken language. We used both, hand-in-hands. I can’t remember ever speaking using only facial expressions. Or trying to survive a whole day just on “sign language”.

Guilty Conscience??

First off, how would you define a guilty conscience?

Maybe it’s that nagging in the back of their head, telling you that you did something wrong. Or, is it a feeling of knowing that you shouldn’t have done something that you did. And now that you did it, you should be punished.

There are many different interpretation of a guilty conscience. But, when it all comes down to it, it’s “you” that is doing all the action.

A guilty conscience is you, yourself, telling you that you should redeem yourselves. You did something you shouldn’t have. No one else is forcing you. It’s your subconscious trying to straighten you up!

Is having a guilty conscience a good thing?

Well, you can argue both ways.

The person being “victimize” by their guilty conscience would argue “no”, that is if they didn’t learn their lesson. But, if they did learn their lesson they would say that it helps them not want to make the same mistake again. That the guilt was eating them from the inside out, so, they would never way down that path again.

But, unfortunately not everyone suffer from a guilty conscience.

So, do you have a guilty conscience?
