The words one chooses to say, and the actions one does.Ī compassionate, kind and loving reality is constructed by good thoughts, good words and good deeds. It continues by what one does with all of that. It continues by understanding the feelings that are triggered by certain thoughts and why are they triggered. If one wants a compassionate, kind, loving, effective and constructive reality (a ‘good’ reality), that starts by the thoughts one chooses to pay attention. ![]() Change the word ‘bad’ to unhealthy, to unhappy, to non effective, to not nice, to nasty it’s all the same thing, the result of which is one didn’t want.

Because then the two people in the conversation know the rules: the rules are understanding what a word means for both people involved in that conversation, and only in that way communication can be clear, efficient, effective and one feels that the other one understood. It’s only when someone understands all these meanings for oneself and for their interlocutor, when one can say, with Wittgenstein, that language is a game and we play it along with the words we use.
