For a working definition of evil, Scott Peck turned to his eight-year-old who explained: "Why daddy, don't you realize that 'evil' is the word 'live' spelled backwards? Evil then, is in opposition to life; evil is that which opposes the human life force. "It has to do with killing; not only the brutal act of homicide, but also that cancer of the spirit capable of cutting short our will to live."
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
