In life, we always had an instrument with us. Even the poor and the rich have it.

This instrument can be used to show:

  • Encouragement
  • Direction
  • Aggression
  • Love
  • Promise

This instrument cannot speak. What is this instrument?

  • $\begingroup$ Should have used "provoke" instead of "Aggression". Dammit. A better word to describe but someone already answered it :/. $\endgroup$ Jan 30, 2016 at 14:40

It is

Your hand. (More specifically, your 5 fingers.)

Encouragement

This is the thumb. A "thumbs-up" is often a sign of encouragement.

Direction

The index finger. It is used to point the way.

Aggression

The middle finger. The famous "one-finger salute" is a definite sign of aggression.

Love

The ring finger is where we place a wedding ring, a symbol of undying love.

Promise

The pinky finger. It is used for "pinky promises".

  • $\begingroup$ Perfect answer. Never heard that middle finger was also known as the "one hand salute". I was only known that people use middle finger just to show that he/she is extremely angry with a person, naturally a way to say, "f*ck you". $\endgroup$ Jan 30, 2016 at 14:24
  • $\begingroup$ Could have used "provoke" as a better way to represent the 3rd finger $\endgroup$ Jan 30, 2016 at 14:45

Direction:

Pointing

Aggression:

Middle finger, fist grip

This instrument cannot speak:

No it can't, and body language isn't speaking
