"Speech that causes no agitation, that is true, pleasant, and beneficial — this is the austerity of speech."
Modern explanation
As the day quiets, hold this: The way you speak shapes the relationships you have. Truth alone is not enough; truth carried with care is.
Practical application
Replay one interaction and consider it from the other person's interior. Notice what shifts.
Reflection question
Who treated me with grace today, and how can I pass it on tomorrow?
