Communication is the key to effective messaging. Not knowing creates fear and uncertainty, and like boys whistling in the dark to ward off danger (while their minds imagine the worst), we react irrationally. This is the domain of knee-jerk reactions, and although we can’t prevent them, illuminating the path with informative conversation can facilitate calmness and a return to sanity. This is a war of words, and he who speaks in a timely and rational manner will be heard.

The true warrior knows the value of propaganda and employs it as an effective, nondestructive tool in his or her arsenal. It is said that the right words at the right time can disarm the opposition and win the battle before the first engagement on the field. So when you are on the receiving end of propaganda, do not give up, do not become disheartened, do not lose faith in your cause, but instead allow the words that have been aimed at you to fan the flames of your creativity and resolve. You have truth and reality on your side. Don’t forget to share your message frequently and on platforms that allow you to be heard. Don’t just mutter to yourself. Sing your praises out loud and in public places where the masses will take comfort.

You are warriors, and with effective and timely communications, you will overcome your adversity and create an experience worth having. So it has been written.
