Moderation in speech is considered a virtue, as one can avoid four unwholesome vocal activities thereby, namely, falsehood, slander, harsh speech, and frivolous talk. In its positive aspect moderation in speech paves the path to self-awareness. Buddhism commends speaking at the appropriate time, speaking the truth, spe...aking gently, speaking what is useful, and speaking out of loving-kindness; the opposite modes of speech are condemned. -Lily de Silva
