What If the Quiet Words Were . . .

What if the quiet words between the two men were filled with respect?

As they enter the arena and make their way to center stage . . .

What if the greetings they shared were genuine in their concern for a fellow traveler on a difficult path?

As they smile broadly and shake hands . . .

What if they made every decision — what they will say and what they will do — based on what they really believe is right?

As one emerges a victor . . .

What if they both commit to work together to  make the world a better place?

What if the quiet words were . . .
