Words have the power to create or destroy, to inspire or disillusion, to ennoble or corrupt…
… and thus to spread either joy or misery.
So, what language do you speak?
What language do you want to speak?
Is it the language of contention or peacemaking?
Suspicion or trust?
Competition or collaboration?
Resentment or reconciliation?
Victimhood or empowerment?
Blame or responsibility?
Withdrawal or engagement?
Self-righteousness or humility?
Scarcity or abundance?
In a phrase, are you speaking the language of resignation or hope?

Your “or” posits were instructive and made me do some uncomfortable self-examination, Frank. And that’s a good thing!
Thanks for that, Annie. Anyone who gives a damn (you and me) will always be works in progress. Keep on keepin’ on!
A question of self-awareness. Presently, in my view, many shroud their mirrors or bathe in a language of hatred, believing it makes them virtuous. Not something for the faint of heart. Thanks, buddy.
Thanks for the thoughtful addition, Gerald. Alas, we have such a long long way to go.
BTW, please know that your presence here is keeping the wind in my sails.
