"Monks, a statement endowed with five factors is well spoken, not ill-spoken. It is blameless and not faulted by knowledgeable people. Which five? It is spoken at the right time. It is spoken in truth. It is spoken affectionately. It is spoken beneficially, and it is spoken with a mind of goodwill."
-The Buddha, in the Angkatara Nikaya

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
The Buddha here is emphasizing the importance of how we talk to others and to oneself. This is about mindful speech and speech that's endowed with good intentions. So to speak kindly, mindfully, with good intention, affectionately and appropriately, this is what the Buddha is telling us is in our best interests and will foster goodness in the people around us. Speech is very important. Humans communicate through speech, and the Buddha wisely points out that speech can be either very beneficial and wonderful, or it can be harmful and detrimental. So, as always, the choice is ours, and we can make informed decisions based on wonderful teachings such as this.
