At 65 years old, I've come to believe that every form of communication can be infused with compassion and kindness. I truly feel there’s always an opportunity to express ourselves gently, and harshness is never necessary.
I agree with what you wrote. However, you cannot command feelings in yourself, and harshness appears suddenly when the ego or the survival of the listener feels somehow threatened. The foundation of a human is the brain of an ape. By the way, I am 76.

@@MusashiTetsukobu Thank you for your insight! You’re right that I want to encourage positive and meaningful discussions, but it’s not just about gathering comments-it’s about fostering genuine connections. I appreciate your awareness and always welcome deeper thoughts or perspectives!

I know what you intended to write, Do what I say, but not what I do. You may need to change the words 'speech' and 'noble speech,' since speech is not 'noble silence' when vocalized or in the form of thoughts. Speech intrinsically has nothing of nobility, as the adjective noble has nothing of noble in itself.. Another thing, if you are contributing to the construction of the Babel Tower, you need to be very aware of where to locate each brick, otherwise the whole tower may collapse.
Noble Silence is such a transformative practice; this inspires me to integrate it more❤
I'm happy it inspires you! Noble Silence is indeed transformative-wishing you a peaceful practice
[09:27] This key point here really made me stop and reflect. Very profound, thank you!
Thank you so much

Thank you so much
On occasion, one must use honest words which may be harsh in an effort to protect others. I consider that compassion.
Thank you for sharing!
