Each time do we become a little more jaded and cautious? Do we start to search for hidden meanings and try to read between the lines? Do we forget what it means to take something at face value and question everything? Simply, we are left to deal with the repercussions of negative communications.

Just as communications are used for ill, it definitely has the potential for great good.
