Chapter 10 - Speak Your Peace

from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D.

"If I could do one thing for my society today, it would be to create community in which everyone was encouraged

to speak from the heart, and to listen to the messages of
others. I have spent most of my life listening to varieties of
justified complaints that no one listens to or understands.
Unfortunately, we live in a non-listening, mass-market,
person-inattentive society. The emphasis on efficiency, productivity,
pleasure, and hurry that pervade society leave little
room for building personal relationships around resonant
communication of feelings. We live in a society uniquely
devoid of conversation about the backdrop of infinite reality,
through which every shaft of light that falls on us has passed.
We see the tint of this passage everywhere, but we suffer from
derealization when we try to speak about its presence in our
lives. Yet this cultural repression is changeable, every time
we ourselves dare to refer in our talk to the reality always
present around us."
