Step 3: Right Speech (known as samma vaca in Pali)
Our speech has a lot pf power, and can influence many lives. The definition of right speech is "And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter: This is called right speech." — SN 45.8. Lying, gossip, speech meant to hurt someone, speech without any purpose and speech meant to create arguments are not considered right speech. Instead one must monitor their speech, talk friendly only when necessary, and only tell the truth.
