Words can be hurtful and leave scars like physical violence does. Only you can’t see them. Calling others names is a detestable way to show your fear. Fear is always the primary emotion behind hate and anger. Where there’s no fear there are no prejudices, no racists, no name calling or degradation. People who fear those of different ethnicity should not be in leadership positions until their fear is calmed through greater knowledge of others. © 2019, Lekatt. All rights reserved. How many times have you heard this little verse.
It is not true, words can be harmful, not only to the receiver, but also to the giver. There are few people so devoid of emotion that can’t be hurt by name calling. Most are hurt and express that hurt in anger at the one who insulted them. Those with very little self-esteem routinely use name calling to hurt others. They don’t understand what they say to others reflects back on themselves. They lose trust, and people just quit listening to them. They also tend to be avoided socially. Confronting them only increases the level of insults, and two wrongs don’t make a right. The best method is to treat them kindly with respect. In time, they will come to realize how they hurt themselves, and attempt to gain self-knowledge by growing spiritually. © 2019, Lekatt. All rights reserved. The courage, knowledge and energy to overcome We have within us all the power necessary to live fruitful, loving, and satisfying lives. However, most of us don’t tap into our inner resources; we just follow the path others have chosen for us, or take the path of least resistance. Choose your own path, start by taking back your power, gain the necessary knowledge, and find the courage to become yourself. All of us will not be rocket scientists, nor make fortunes in the stock market, but we all have something important to contribute. Find out what you want to bring to this world and pursue it. It is never too late, and you are never too old. “Your greatness lies in the power of your thought.” © 2019, Lekatt. All rights reserved. Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus, is a classic. We need to read this often lest we forget the magnitude of the world we live in. Nothing, no nothing is impossible to the mind. It was written in 1897 by Francis P. Church, the editor of the defunct New York Sun. He wrote it in response to this letter. “Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in the Sun, it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth. Is there a Santa Claus?” – Virginia O’Hanlon
