Words Become Blessings or Misfortunes

Words Become Blessings or Misfortunes *DOJEON 3:17

17 Sangjenim one day recited a poem to Hyeong-ryeol:
惡將除去無非草요
好取看來總是花니라
Hated and cut away, none are anything but weeds.
Admired and accepted, all are flowers.
2 He then declared, “Words are the voice of the mind; behavior is the reflection of the mind.
3 Kind words grow into blessings which blossom into ever greater blessings that eventually return to you, while harsh words grow into misfortunes which deepen into ever greater misfortunes that eventually return to you.”
