Hi, Alivers!

We are a social blockchain. We like or have to read posts every day. Each of us writes, reads and posts almost every day. Everything happens with words. It's essentially the main tool here. And it's amazing to see how we use it in different ways.

Or we don't use it at all.

Apparently there is some connection between words and something else that prevents or helps to be heard or understood.

I liked one response under my post this week:⬇️

My biggest rule is, if I don't understand it, I don't do it.

It's so simple and obvious, it could be genius. That's what I thought and decided to come back to it later.

Except when one does not want to understand or be understood, we have a great opportunity to solve any problem of this world. Naturally, if it depends on negotiation. Even if we speak different languages, some truth can always be found in simple words. It is important simply to come to an understanding.

Only after understanding comes action. And after that the result.

But until then, only words can help get things moving. So why do we take it so lightly at times?

Every new post I write, picking up every word. I reread, edit, sometimes cross out and rewrite again. It's important for me to jump over my head, even if it's not noticeable. It's important to me to put it in a way that will be understood as much as possible.

At least on a feeling level...

Even if it's less than 300 words, it has to carry value. Either to make you think, or to make you doubt. No matter what, how, or when. Perhaps the necessary thoughts will come on their own after a month or a year. You won't even realize it. It doesn't matter if there's value here...

Words matter here.

That's why my favorite words are words of kindness, support, hope, gratitude and expression of feelings. It's the mix of sincerity, strength and confidence that can really make a difference. Almost always. Even if it's not immediately apparent or doesn't seem to work.

It always works. I've seen it more than once.

But before the word comes purity of thought, sincerity, kindness and great fortitude. That's how I see it now.

That's how I feel it.

Do the words mean something to you? What do they mean to you? Maybe you have a story or a good quote about it? Maybe you have some crazy thoughts after reading this post?

Just share your words with me. That will be my question for today).

Goal

As I wrote in the first post Giveaway of Gratitude. 5 HSBI. CLOSED!, I give every day and want to take it to Hive! The purpose of this next giveaway is to give back to Hive and its members my share of appreciation and love! This is a gratuitous giveaway. That is, if the payout for this post is 5.01 Hive, I will give away 6 HSBI! The only thing I get is your love and part of the Hive SBI (that's how HSBI works).

What is HSBI

HSBI is a social experiment that has grown into something bigger. I have read many posts and other information about it. In my opinion, it is worthy of both Hive and this world in general! If you don't already know what HSBI (Hive SBI) is, read this post: Hive SBI

Why am I leaning specifically toward HSBI? Because this value that I give away also stays at Hive. It also shows my love for this blockchain and everyone involved!

Rules

  1. Answer the giveaway question or voice your opinion against it if you feel that way. Just do it in more than 2 words!
  2. Wait 7 days from the time the post is published.
  3. Bots and multi-accounts are not participating and will be tracked manually by me. That's what the 7 days are for.
  4. The five winners will each receive 1 HSBI.
  5. One participant I choose will receive 1 HSBI personally from me! I will publish the reasons in my next post.

It's simple, isn't it? If it is, then go for it! I'd love to see your love for the entire Hive community!

Past giveaway winners:

@ henruc
@ flaxz.alive
@ tydynrain
@ vaynard86
@ almajandra
@ dayadam
@ marilour

Congratulations, guys!

And yes, we had 7 contestants again who met all the conditions and all were winners! I'm even glad I didn't have to choose and no one was left out this time.

All the appreciation awards were sent out about 2 hours ago. I received my HSBI portion for last week and for this week. Here are my current HSBI figures ⬇️

Conclusion

I love reading different authors with different pitches and words, since I've been reading since I was a kid. But I was always amazed by those who were able to put their thoughts into a few phrases or make a phrase out of a few words. At the same time, after reading, always wanted to go back to it and unravel this formula for writing simple words.

Now I think that formula is life.

And the variables of the formula are thoughts, people, and events...

That's all for now! Hive ON! Hive Five! We Are Alive!

I'll answer the question about words we don't understand with the story of a Portuguese friend who told me that when she arrived in France as a young adult and didn't speak the language well, she used to answer no to every question she was asked.
I asked her why.
She told me that a yes could be misinterpreted, and that a no was less risky. 😁

Thanks a lot for the prize Alexandr, and deep thoughts about the importance of words there.

In my opinion it is more than just the matter of the words and their meaning, to start with it is our way of communicating with each other, but that is also just touching the obvious.

We use words in our minds to formulate the thoughts before we speak, however our thoughts and ideas also needs words and language to be born before they can be formulated, without words of meaning our minds would not just struggle to speak out our thoughts and ideas, but also have great trouble coming up with those thoughts and ideas to begin with.

So yes words really do matter, the words and their meaning is the basis for how we think, come up with new ideas, formulate those ideas and then communicate them to others.

Hello dear friend, first of all thank you very much for taking me into account every week.

Regarding your question, the words, wowww. I think I always tend to talk too much hahaha, but believe me that with few and beautiful words you can say everything and show what you have in your heart.

For me something very important is to send blessings because each one of them are returned, so I will always keep doing it.

A hug and infinite blessings for you my dear friend.

Have a beautiful day @stdd 💕

Hey Alexandr, thanks for the prize.

Some thoughts on my end.

Without words, we wouldn't be even interacting here. To me, words are an expression of feelings, thoughts and things that we would want to communicate through. Imagine a world without words, written or spoken, while expressions can show how we feel or what we are thinking, but the content of those will be hard to comprehend.

Take for example, looking interested might end up be interpreted as staring when no words can be used to communicate the intent out, which leads to misunderstanding and possibly conflict.

Without words, the world become silent. People would stray far apart from one another because they have no means of communication other than non-verbal expressions which could be limited.

The most beautiful part of words is that it brings understanding and interaction. Words is also an important part of the 5 love languages, Words of Affirmation. Through words, love can be expressed and allow the other party to receive that expression, which is very important for relationship building. Sorry for the lengthy response, have a great day!
