That Angelou Quote

A particular quote of Maya Angelou's, of people not remembering your words, but remembering how you made them feel, is making the rounds just now.

It is deeply true.  So true, in fact that even when it is subtle, when you are being sneakily insulting, deceptively critical of others, pretending to kindness and innocence and "speaking truth to power" when you wish to shame others, it is still remembered by the insulted more for the tone than for the content. And when those who call you out on this are further vilified as haters, it's still true.

Just sayin'
