Speech
A short Ma’at meditation on speech, truth, and the discipline of right living.
Words can warm, words can burn.
A kind word can nourish a heart for years; a cruel word can scar it for a lifetime.
Before you let words fly, weigh them on the scale of your heart – will they build, or will they burn?
Speak plainly and with care.
Let your tongue be a tool to heal, not a dagger to wound.
In the mouth of the wise, words are a salve; in the mouth of the reckless, a poison.
