For a second, I thought I was getting sick of all those things, the things of goodness: justice, peace, kindness, that sort of thing. What is wrong with me? I thought to myself... But then, I realized that it wasn't those things at all that I was getting too much of, but the words themselves. It was that the words were being so overused everywhere, like the media, and talk among co-workers and such — I was sick of hearing those words when there was nothing behind them. I was sick of hearing "justice", for instance, without the speaker himself in knowledge of what that word truly represented. I was sick of hearing it used merely for effect.
If it were the other way around, I think, that people acted justly, and kindly, and peacefully, without them saying a word about it — I don't think I would have a problem with that at all. Who would, after all? I think I must watch myself, now that I have come to the understanding that I have. I must not wear out those words (words like "love" — who hasn't at one point heard that used too much?); I must use those words when I mean them, really mean them, and not when I want to relegate them as verbal garnish. It is, I think, to cry "Justice!" when one desires it in one's bones, not when it itches on one's tongue.

When we use trite words, it may seem as if we really do not mean them. That is why you should always speak from the heart. And if you do anything do it with your heart. Feel the words when you say them. Awesome!!!!
