Khalil Gibran once said that people will
never understand one another unless language is reduced to seven words. What
would your seven words be?
Okay, I’m
going to break the rules a little bit on this prompt (not like I haven’t done
that before in the previous 300 days of writing, right?! Of course I have…Lol),
I’m going to reduce the language to 9 words, and here they are:
LOVE
JOY
PEACE
PATIENCE
KINDNESS
GOODNESS
FAITHFULNESS
GENTLENESS
SELF-CONTROL
And one
verse from the Bible:
But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no
law. Galations 5:22-23
I think if
we always tried to understand each other using these 9 words, the world would
be a much nicer place and much easier to navigate. What words would you chose?
