FELICITY

When you speak truth with economy and forethought of matters that are uplifting and helpful, you provide great service.  Beware, however, that you do not speak in empty phrases, circularly, or in euphemisms.  Do not make a game of words and emotions.  Do not manipulate.

A Felicity given with words does not guarantee happiness, but a proper skill with words can reflect the understanding of the matter about which one speaks.  We have all heard empty phrases in such great quantity that they no longer have meaning; they have become space holders:  “How nice to meet you.”  “Wonderful to see you again.”  “We should get together.”  “I’m sorry for your loss.”  “That must make you very happy.”

We follow certain etiquettes as we have been taught, according to our time and our culture.  Think about your language and your phrasing, particularly the phrases that you repeat whole, mimicking others.  What do they mean . . . and more importantly, do you mean them?

Will you employ Felicity as a gift for communication, bringing happiness through real connections and proper language?  Or will you offer empty Felicitations, echoes of other empty phrases that have gone before, empty calories for a starving people?
