I found this link regarding Right Speech which I believe translates well for our times. http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/thanissaro/speech.html
One of my greatest struggles is getting caught up in wrong speech. It can happen quickly and easily.
I get caught up in joking with coworkers over the latest celebrity mishaps on youtube. I speek poorly of other commuters on my way to work. I get frustrated by the incompetence of some of those in the service industry. Nobody wants to suffer. We all want to be happy.
I can choose to join in with the crowd get a few laughs maybe even win favour with my peers but ultimately I have done myself no good by forgetting to be mindful of my words.
