"No hay malas palabras. Malos pensamientos. Malas intenciones. Y palabras."

George Carlin

Simplified Meaning:

Words by themselves are neutral; they don't have the power to be good or bad on their own. It's the thoughts and intentions behind them that determine if they are harmful or helpful. Imagine a situation where someone uses a common phrase, but in a sarcastic tone, to hurt someone's feelings. It's not the words themselves that are bad, but how and why they are used. For instance, saying "Good job!" can be encouraging, but if said with a sneer, it can be hurtful. To apply this to daily life, one should always consider their true intentions and feelings before speaking, ensuring their words are used to uplift rather than to harm. This way, we can communicate more thoughtfully and positively with others.
