171. Three Questions
I was just reading that in the Islamic tradition it is suggested that before you speak, you ask yourself three questions: Are the words true? Are the words kind? Are the words necessary?
Well, I think I try to abide by the first two questions. I do try to speak truth. And I try to speak kind.
However, I have to admit that necessary is a whole different category. Sometimes, I confess I chatter and a good bit of what I say is far from necessary. But then I think from time to time you need to be able to chatter. Part of my day I am alone, and I recognize that then when I’m with someone I’m just so delighted to be having conversation, that the words bubble up and out.
How about your words?
