Right speech: before you press send

Three questions inspired by MN 58. This is a reflection aid, not a guarantee that a message will be welcomed.

  1. Truth

    What do I know? Check the original source before forwarding.

  2. Benefit

    What useful purpose would this serve? Being correct does not make every remark helpful.

  3. Timing

    Would another moment or a private conversation be better?

  4. Try a repair

    “I shared that before checking. The original source says something different; here is the correction.”
