What we say and how we say it

The old adage “if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all” seem to have been misunderstand to mean don’t say anything. I am the kind of person that tries to not say anything bad about anyone. The problem with that is I am not saying enough positive things to people and if I really wanna make a difference this would make a good first step. We may come through trying times but the one thing that stays constant is us and our image how we choose to represent ourselves. I enjoy growing learning and laughing with my friends. I seem to feel especially close to those that come Tuesday nights being able to study the Bible and talk about what we are going through has been really cool. We must learn to combat our do-nothingness together.

In the book I am reading the author describes his experiences in India one of them being his work with a leper colony. "I learned from the lepers that leprosy is a disease of numbness. The contagion numbs, the skin, and the nerves can no longer feel as the body wastes away. In fact, the way it was detected was by rubbing a feather across the skin, and if the person could not feel it, they were diagnosed with the illness. To treat it, we would dig out or dissect the scarred tissue until the person could feel again. As I left Calcutta, it occurred to me that I was returning to a land of lepers, a land of people who had forgotten how to feel, to laugh, to cry, a land haunted by numbness. Could we learn to feel again?", [The Irresistible Revolution]
