"Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it
true, does it improve on the silence?"
— Sai Baba
I feel the above quote to be so well stated that it is hard for me to
add anything to it that could clarify on its wisdom. So this shall be
short and brief. When tempted to fill the silence with words, please
consider the question above carefully before you speak. Make sure what
you are saying is kind. Be certain that it is something that absolutely
needs to be said. Verify that what you are about to say is in fact true
and not just a hasty judgment or ego-driven opinion. And finally,
assure yourself that it will improve the situation or be helpful to
someone or something.
