There Is No Reason to Be Stingy With a Kind Word
기원후 3~12세기경 편찬(구전 격언시)
ORIGINAL
प्रियवाक्यप्रदानेन सर्वे तुष्यन्ति जन्तवः । (priyavākyapradānena sarve tuṣyanti jantavaḥ)
📜 THE VERSE
By simply offering a kind word, every living being is pleased.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
A kind word costs nothing — so why am I holding it back?
📝Reflection
A kind word is a gift that costs nothing to give. And yet people hoard it as if it were scarce treasure. This verse gently rebukes that stinginess — kindness does not shrink when shared, so there is no reason to withhold it.
