Dharmette: Right Speech (3 of 5) Disposed to Goodwill.

So continuing with the five things to consider before you speak, to know how to speak or if you should speak.

So is it true? Is it useful or beneficial what you're going to say? Today it's is there goodwill in what you're going to say? Well-wishing.

And tomorrow it has to do with the impact of the words.

What kind of impact will this have? And the last will be is it timely? Is it the right time to say? So this audit, accurate, useful, disposition we have, impact and timeliness.

Today it's goodwill.

Is there a disposition of kindness? What's the disposition we have when we're speaking? And so just checking in that way, what's the attitude we have? It can be revealing.

It can support us to be careful in what we say.

So if we're annoyed, if we're grumpy, if we're feeling somehow kind of imbalanced or out of shape, to know that and then maybe be careful that we don't say the first things that come to our mind.

Maybe hold back from speaking until we're really sure it's the right thing to say.

We don't want to spread our annoyance, our complaining, our ill will.

We don't want to spread our conceit, our arrogance into the world.

So you want to be able to check in with ourselves.
