Blaming your neighbor is harmful, both for you and for others.
Yesterday at a party, when a guest said good-bye and departed, everyone who was left started to slander him. The same thing happened to the second person when he left, and to all the guests, one after another, as they left. The last guest said, “Let me stay here and spend the night. I saw that all the people who left suffered and I am afraid for myself.”
Be strict to yourself and forgive others, and then you will have no enemies.
— Chinese Wisdom
I once met an old man who spoke very slowly, pausing for several seconds between his words. He did this because he was afraid to sin with his words.
Let us forgive each other. If we can forgive each other, then we can live in peace.
A word is an expression of thoughts; thoughts are the expression of divine force. Therefore, words should correspond to our true meaning. Speech can be indifferent, but it should not be an expression of evil.
