Use of the Word "Stupid"

It is a mistake to call people stupid. I know, I know; sometimes people make some serious mistakes that would prompt one to use that term. We all make mistakes. However, I stay away from calling people stupid. It is a demeaning term. It is akin to calling somebody a fool. It is a form of condemnation. It is not wise to call someone stupid. It is definitely not the sign of a good leader , boss or supervisor. It is a sign of impatience, lack of self-control, arrogance and hatred all lumped into one word. It demonstrates an inability to communicate. It usually accompanies the loss of temper by the user/accuser. It reflects a wrong spirit. I encourage the reader to never call someone stupid. Increase your vocabulary. Find a better word or words. Be kind to people. If you do not know how to be kind to people; then make an effort to learn how. In conclusion; I have noticed something in particular about many of the people who like to call others stupid. The term tends to describe them or their actions. However, I won't call them by that word. But I might think it.
