Choice of Words


   Wildlife abound on this property. While driving by it (but not on it), I've seen turkeys, foxes, and other creatures. Seeing those critters put me into happy moods.
   Now the vibe has changed. A  'Keep Out' sign has been posted. That expression is gruff.
   The landowner could have used a polite expression such as 'Private Property or 'No Trespassing. The same information would be conveyed.  
   Politeness uplifts humanity. Grumpiness brings it down.
