Words that harm people and hurt people—they’re not worth speaking! Even if those words are true.
It might be, for example, that a person is making big mistakes, or is doing things that are very impolite. Maybe they haven’t been trained, maybe they come from another culture and yet if you were to correct that person—you would harm them. You would hurt them and they wouldn’t listen. So in a case like that, it’s best not to speak!
