tone

Description

Tone is the garish costume words don to conceal truth, manipulate feelings, and subtly toy with the listener’s mind. Everyone claims the right to justify their own tone while harshly judging others. More often than not, real intent lurks in the shadows, cleverly dismissed as merely a matter of tone.
