Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates At the first gate, ask yourself, “Is it true?” At the second gate ask, “Is it necessary?” At the third gate ask, “Is it kind?” ~ Rumi  The Three Gates of Speech The great Sufi poet, Rumi, believed that before we speak our words should pass through three gates. “Is it true?  Is it necessary?  Is it kind?” How many of the things we say each day could pass this litmus test?  Humans speak on average roughly 16,000 words a day.  After employing Rumi’s test, how many do you think
