Deflect them, neutralize their power! Do not give others power over you to harm you, or control you through the words that they speak. Words only have the power that one gives them. Remain calm, stay balanced. Your calmness and balance will cause your opponent to lose his calm, and his balance. Thus weakened, your opponent is easily defeated. Master yourself, guard your tongue. In this, wisdom unites with action, and creates peace. Rabbi Ariel B. Tzadok |
