To discuss” is only good to move the air;

“To act”, on the other hand, requires calm and concretion.

One has never spoken as much as in our time. An avalanche so imposing of empty, useless and unconscious words had never fallen on people. All want to “participate”, but few have something to say, because few are able to reach the silence and the necessary effort for “reflection.”

Our world has absolute necessity of calm, simple and kind people: who in the trade assist you with a smile and don't lose the patience in front of the counters and don't behave aggressively when you make an error.

I know wise in your trials. The words can be potent arms that can harm a lot. Your language doesn't make fun anybody. Your mouth never rejects anybody. A hard and strong word can burn a lot of time in your heart and to leave you a scar.

Accepts that the other ones are “other” that think different of you; act different of you; feel different of you and speak different of you.

In your conversations be generous and indulgent. The words should be “lights.” The words should reconcile; to bring near, to pacify. When the words become “weapons”, we fight as enemies.

The life is too brief and the world is too small to transform it into a battle field.

“God, help me do not opening the mouth before knowing what I have to say. Amen.”
