We may have severally come across the word “Hate Speech” as the word won’t be a new one to us, but the question is what is hate speech?.

Hate speech is not actually a new word from a new dictionary because in so many ways, we have come across such word. The word “hate speech” echoes around us, in the societies, in our churches and even in our school.

Most of those that pass through primary and secondary school level will likely know the deeper aspect of the word because most at times, teachers or the school principals always trash any one whose name appear in the list of those making use of any language tagged as “hate speech”. Without waisting of time, let’s find out what hate speech is all about and some of it’s effect.

DEFINITION OF HATE SPEECH

There is actually no stress in defining the word as it already explained itself, but some add-on will be helpful in knowing and understanding the deeper aspect of it.

Hate Speech is actually a “no accepted” word which aims to provoke, condemn, dismay, demoralize, and bastardize one’s spirit, definitely changing it from positively high to negativity low or negatively down.

In other words, hate speech are words or speech which when released from the tongue, causes depression, demoralization and may have some psychological effect in someone. They are words that are likely to cause fight between two people, words that are likely to cause mental and psychological pains and words that are likely to drive-in the thought of “suicide” in one’s heart.

Many people actually use some of these words in their day to day interaction, some parents use them against their children, some friends use them and others. And these words are usually used by those that doesn’t care about other people’s emotion.

A good example of these words is a mother calling her daughter a prostitute, a father calling his son a failure. All these are words that are likely to drive one insane and they are likely to cause a negative reactions from the person. Because such words are “no accepted” one to human and as such, you are meant to watch the rate in which your tongue jump into negative words especially when scolding someone.

These words normally sound when being angry, they are normally released when you are provoke by someone. In retaliation to the cause of your anger, you let such words out without considering how the person will feel, without considering the person’s emotion, whether being hurt or not.

This happens everywhere around us, such words are being used by the parents to their children and most especially by the “ogas” to those staying with them. Why?.

Some words can be more dangerous, harmful and hurtful to others more than they can be to you, learn to control your tongue towards unleashing some provocative and depressive words to others.

A few letter words is enough to drive someone insane, a few letter words is enough to bastardize and cause depression to someone, a few letter words is enough to kill someone. Be in control of your tongue, pay attention to the words you release to someone especially when being angry, mind the words you throw out to someone because most depressive words sound different in the heart of those you release it to.

Some words actually sound the way bomb does in their heart and they may not have the control to get rid of it, “suicide” might become a better option for them.

Some words are not meant to be used against your fellow human beings because they can be dangerous to human, they can be psycyological painful and because they are likely to prompt “suicide” in their heart.

Build a fence over your tongue and listen very well before throwing any word to some one, especially when being angry. Guide your tongue and help the world in reducing the number of suicide. Thanks
