Welcome to our KZbin channel, solely dedicated to words.
Say Your Word is a digital platform by the acclaimed novelist, storyteller and women’s rights activist Elif Shafak.
A platform for words and anyone who cares about them.
Language is the key to understanding and unlocking our world.
It is also the key to the human heart.
Words are often said to have power.
What is not said that often is that they can hurt and even spread hatred and hostility, just like they can heal and bring about love, empathy and wisdom.
They can divide, distance and "dehumanise", just like they can connect and “rehumanise" those who have been dehumanised.
East and West, North and South, regardless of race, sex, gender, colour, religion, ethnicity, nationality or any other category, we are all made of stories.
Stories bring us together, untold stories keep us apart.
Today's word is MENTAL

There is a quote from Jim Sinclair, an autism activist. I think that quote can be read on a more general note wrt/ mental health. It also goes along well with a Rumi quote. If we put aside right and wrong and try to understand instead of judge the alienation we sometimes feel may fade away. "Grant me the dignity of meeting me on my own terms … Recognise that we are equally alien to each other, that my ways of being are not merely damaged versions of yours. Question your assumptions. Define your terms. Work with me to build bridges between us." --Sinclair 1993 “Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there.” --Rumi

Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing, there is a field; I'll meet you there... Rumi ❤
