Question

As your friend ravi was coming to school a person riding on a bicycle told ravi are you blind don't you see the road while walking ? You come to the school and tell all my friends that somebody called ravi blind . Which etiquette of speech is broken?

Answer 1

According to the Bhagvad Gita, one should speak words which are truthful, pleasing and beneficial to others. They must not agitate, insult or harm others in anyway

In the above example, if I come to the school and tell all the friends that someone called Ravi blind, the other friends would laugh and make fun of Ravi. Ravi’s feelings could be affected and he would feel very bad.

So, even if my words are truthful, they are not pleasing and beneficial to anyone.
