Consider each word carefully

Sometimes we speak clumsily and create internal knots in others. Then we say, "I was just telling the truth." It may be the truth, but if our way of speaking causes unnecessary suffering, it is not Right Speech. The truth must be presented in ways that others can accept. Words that damage or destroy are not Right Speech. Before you speak, understand the person you are speaking to. Consider each word carefully before you say anything, so that your speech is "Right" in both form and content. 

~ Thich Nhat Hanh 

Uneori vorbim neatent si cream probleme interioare in ceilalti. Apoi spunem, „Eu doar am spus adevarul.” E posibil sa fie adevarul, dar daca modul in care ati vorbit duce la o suferinta inutila, nu este Discursul Corect. Adevarul trebuie exprimat intr-un mod in care ceilalti pot sa-l accepte. Cuvintele care pot rani sau distruge nu reprezinta Discursul Corect. Inainte de a vorbi, intelege persoana cu care vorbesti. Fii atent la fiecare cuvant pe care il rostesti inainte de a spune ceva, astfel incat discursul tau sa fie „Corect” atat in forma cat si in continut.
