Normally we pay a lot of attention not to hurt people physically but end up hurting others through our words. This creates negativity in others which in turn affects us negatively too. Our work too is affected by these kind of words. In order to bring true non-violence in our lives, it is equally important to pay special attention to our words too. The basis of words that don't hurt others are positive thoughts-thoughts based on good wishes and benevolent feelings for others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
