“Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself, or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.”
~Don Miguel Ruiz quote is taken from: The Four Agreements
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you. If, like a cracked gong, you silence yourself, you have already attained Nibbana: no vindictiveness will be found in you
.-Dhammapada 133-134
I was VERY careful with my speech today. One of the precepts in Buddhism is Right Speech. Much easier said than done, especially in traffic.
