I believe that the smallest molecule of construction in the cause for peace is our personal speech. What we say creates a ripple effect in interpersonal relationships and the world of our listeners is changed for good or for bad.
When we speak appreciation and gratitude, worry and whining take second place. My Aunt Pauline, who suffered from dementia in her last years, repeated over and over. . ."We all have so much to be thankful for." If one has to be stuck in perpetual repetition, here is a mantra.
Studies show that our immune systems responds to positive emotions. Speak health and your body functions better.
We cannot abandon critical thinking to become Pollyanna, feeling sure that "everything will be just fine." Evil and injustice require honesty and problem-solving. However, if we always look for what is right and magnify the good, we create an aura of happiness wherever we are.
When we speak peace, we create good will. This I believe . . .
