Character Counts

When does a positive thing like a strong sense of morality become an apparently negative thing like moral outrage?

When is backing the truth turn into being a whistleblower or "not a team player"?

When is having character and confidence judged as arrogance?

The answer, of course, is when it suits some agenda to label it thus.

With the richness of the wordplay of the English language, it will depend on which side you take. 

Your fingers will dance over your choice of weapon like a Victorian duellist.

You will choose the flavour and concentration of wordplay to support your purpose whether that be to educate, to inform, to discuss, to insult, to hurt, to discredit or to destroy.

If you do it in a charming enough way, you could sell tea to China, get a villain back on the streets, talk your way out of a parking ticket or get away with murder.

With the power of words, comes great responsibility.

Someone needs to tell the politicians and teachers.

Someone needs to tell the doctors.

Someone needs to tell the lawyers.
