I've been trying to ask myself a few questions before I go spouting off about something or making snarky commentary. I'd like to say I apply this equally, but I should admit that I do it most often with people I'm treading on eggshells with.
1. Is it true?
2. Is it kind?
3. Is it necessary?
Taught to me by my yoga instructor, once again.
As an aside,
BPAL's Vishuddha oil also works wonders, lasting far beyond when it's applied. At least, I think.
