Tone of voice

We can all come up with one witty remark that grounds another. It is immediately harder to say something that uplifts others and makes them greater. But it's basically a better idea. That's why we try to talk more than nicely to each other. And at least maintain a certain measure of pre-agreed formation. Even under stress, pressure, PMS and early in the morning. The fact that you have to swear and sulk and scold each other every once in a while is probably the most obvious thing to write about.
