Moral responsibility for one’s words

Man created – in God’s image – is valuable and therefore deserves dignity. However, we live in a world full of hatred and contempt for our neighbour. In our families there is often no dialogue and no respect for one another. The phone often becomes a digital pacifier, replacing the presence of a parent. Therefore, as the basis for education, action should be taken to deepen the sense of dignity, both of one’s own but also of another person’s. Therefore the education for proper communication must begin at a child’s early age. We also need to teach young people to be morally responsible for every word they say.
