is it better than silence?

September 1st, 2007 · 7 Comments

if you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. thanks for visiting!

a propos our conversation about appreciative communication on the internet, i remembered this today, by the buddha:

when admonishing someone, keep these six considerations in mind:

  1. is my heart free of malice towards this person?
  2. have i been guilty of this offence myself?
  3. do i speak at the right time?
  4. is this the truth?
  5. do i speak gently?
  6. am i concerned with profit to myself?

along the same lines, 19th century indian guru sai baba had these thoughts on mindful speech:

before you say anything, consider these questions:

  1. is it true?
  2. is it kind?
  3. is it necessary?
  4. will it improve on the silence?

i find the last one the most challenging, especially as a blogger.

is what i say better than silence?

    While #4 is hard as a blogger, it’s even harder as a commenter.

    I find your posts better than silence more often than not.

    I can’t forward your stuff to my wife, though, because her proofreader’s brain can’t get past the all lower case. Oops, is that an admonishment? Did I meet the six criteria? Maybe. I think so.

    Silence is better than chocolate. Chocolate is better than most diets. Most diets are better than eating nothing at all. Eating nothing at all is better than eating a lot and working hard. Working hard and saying nothing and eating properly is better than doing nothing. Doing nothing is better than babbling.
