From the World Spirit Tarot, the Seer/Page of Swords; from the Mystic Glyphs, Judgement:
This Page's fox companion seems to know what she does not: just because we're good with words doesn't mean we should use them indiscriminately. As the Judgement card encourages, we need to use some discernment before opening our mouth. The T-H-I-N-K acronym (attributed to Alan Redpath) is a helpful way to do just that:
T – Is it true? Is it accurate, factual information, or is it just hearsay or my opinion?
H – Is it helpful? Will this benefit everyone involved or just me?
I – Is it inspiring? Will this encourage or discourage others?
N – Is it necessary? Will harm come to someone if I don’t speak or act? Will an opportunity for good be missed?
K – Is it kind? Are the words I say chosen carefully and compassionately? Are my actions considerate and respectful?
