I wanted to join this training because my friend participated in a previous PEACE BRIDGES course and I saw that it changed him- he was more thoughtful and considerate. I wanted more skills to help solve problems related to jealousy and conflict and learn about right speech and listening and to learn to take care not to be in the habit of using a “forked tongue”- just speaking without honestly thinking about what I should say.
Before I was more like a person who was quick to anger and not I find I’m better at thinking before I speak. Also, I see that often I would say things that have already been said just to hear myself contribute something. I’m also not so bossy as I was before.
