LETTERS THAT
SHOULDN’T BE WRITTEN
No USEFUL PURPOSE is ever
served by writing needlessly of misfortune or unhappiness to anyone.
The chronic calamity-writers
seem to wait until the skies are darkest and then, rushing to their desks,
luxuriate in pouring out all their troubles to their friends.
Every day the mails carry
letters of another kind whose fallout would be spectacular if they fell into
the wrong hands. Foolish men often write things that sound quite different from
their original intent.
Remember this above all:
Never write a letter to anyone that you would be embarrassed to see in a
newspaper above your signature. Thousands upon thousands of people, inspired by
every known emotion, have poured words on paper, and few of the many made
public have had charm or beauty.
If you are determined to
write an emotional letter to someone, put it away overnight in order to re-read
it and make sure that you have said nothing that may sound different from what
you intended.
The point to remember is
that written words have permanency, and thoughts carelessly put on paper can
come back to haunt you when you least expect them.
The light, jesting tone that
saves a quip from being offensive cannot be expressed in writing, and remarks
that are amusing when spoken, can become sharp and insulting when written.
Moreover, words expressing a fleeting mood can take on a frightening permanence
when written down.
Anger in a letter carries
with it the effect of solidified fury. Bitter spoken words fade away once the
cause is forgiven; written words are fixed on the page forever.
One point cannot be overstressed: Letters written under
strong emotion should be held for twenty-four hours and re-read before being
sent or probably torn into small pieces and not sent at all.
