Continuing on the same theme
as two days ago with the story of Socrates, what we say to others and about others could be detrimental to
our friendships and relationships. Many of these were shattered and broken
because we did not keep a secret, or because we spread rumors or gossiped about
things, news and information that was not correct or true. So I always suggest
this method to my parishioners, and invariably they always come back to ask me
for a copy of what the five words are. It is so true, we can
hurt so many people by what we say without first thinking - as the story of
Socrates showed us two days ago. So, never say anything about others unless it
is True, Helpful, Inspiring (or Important,) Necessary and Kind -
a perfect acronym for the word THINK. That’s right, think about it, before you say it!
