Speak kindly!

Read somewhere in the email forwarded to me:

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly!

These are good guidelines for our life. In our everyday life, if we can put them into practice, how wonderful it could be!

I especially need to be mindful of the last one: speak kindly.

I found that I at times tend to speak according to my sentiment and just let go. It sorts of made me satisfied and happy! Never thought that this could hurt other people's feelings. Speaking kindly can be done by using some other more subtle or alternate words such that the meaning can be passed on and yet less harmful! This is what we called the art of speaking, I think.
