"Right Word"
Talking. Only what has sense and meaning should come from the lips of
one striving for higher development. All talking for the sake of
talking - to kill time — is in this sense harmful.
The usual kind of conversation, a disjointed medley of remarks, should
be avoided. This does not mean shutting oneself off from intercourse
with one's fellows; it is precisely then that talk should gradually be
led to significance. One adopts a thoughtful attitude to every speech
and answer taking all aspects into account. Never talk without cause —
be gladly silent. One tries not to talk too much or too little. First
listen quietly; then reflect on what has been said.
