Parole, parole, parole...

AA said: Kan inte vara sannare.

Parole, parole, parole…

Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don’t pay so much attention to the words. In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.

                                             Shams of Tabriz

There is so much talking going on all the time. Words, words, words! They can be sources of you but, alas, very often they are the root of misunderstandings, conflicts and tensions.

We are used to blurting out whatever crosses our mind without further reflection. Often we regret what we said; it might have been unkind or hurtful, we might have tread on someone’s toes.

I try to hold my tongue, sticking to Buddha’s advice: “before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?”
