Seven words

This Forum is dedicated to the Druidic search for the underlying meaning of life, the unifying nature of our common humanity, and our interconnectedness in the search for truth.
Forum rules
This forum is dedicated to the quest of our common humanity, especially in the exploration of the underlying commonalities of the human condition, the similarities between faith systems and philosophies, and the Druidic search for all that unifies rather than divides. This is a public forum, viewable by guests as well as members, and is cataloged by most search engines.

The term "Common Quest" does not mean that ultimately there is one faith system, or one lowest common denominator. It means that we are all trying to do the same thing: find the meaning of our existence in this common humanity that we share.

One rule for discussions here: Honor One Another.

don't know if this has been posted before, maybe even by me, but I quite like the concept (I have no idea about the people behind it, I just like the words and associations that go with it)
No is about Boundaries Identity Choice Truth

Hello is about Attention Openness Exchange Communion

Thank You is about Appreciation Valuing Giving Heart Essence

Goodbye is about Realization Appreciation Completion Moving On

Please is about Vision Intention Cooperation Prayer

Sorry is about Responsibility Remorse Repair Release

Yes is about Permission Acceptance Agreement Surrender

That pretty much sums up my "must know" words when I visit a non-English speaking country as well.

Danke!

I've been thinking to align these with the festivals, which could be turned into a whole year's cycle of work. Of course the eighth is missing so I chose silence. Also, I think some of the concepts (whichI made to be red) fit better to the individual festival.
