That which is not expressed usually has more power than words. Evil has no barriers, it is not hindered either by locks or by distances. Evil can even wreck a car without any damage. Do you understand, then, how our bad thoughts, our bad moods affect others? That is why we must also find a way to cleanse the depths of ourselves of all evil. When our soul is sanctified, it radiates goodness. We then send our love in silence without even speaking any words.
Saint Porphyrios (Bairaktaris) the Kafsokalyvite
