(Clearwisdom.net) I have never done well with regard to my cultivation of speech. Every time I make mistakes, I don't realize it until later and I'm filled with regret. This has happened often and each time I encounter the test, I forget to act in accordance with the Fa.
While I was practicing the exercises early one morning, I suddenly realized, “Why is it that when I meet certain people or run into certain situations at work or in daily life, I immediately feel the need to express my opinion?” I believe that it is because there are certain things that I can't stand and some people that I really look down upon. I feel that how they do things is not in alignment with my thinking, and I'm compelled to tell them so. When I looked more deeply, I questioned why I had objected to things that had nothing to do with me.
I found my attachments to selfishness and treating people differently, as in showing more tolerance for people I like, but being more critical of those I dislike. I also had a hidden attachment of jealousy. After removing them, I no longer needed to tightly control my speech, because no matter what people did or what I encountered, those attachments were no longer there, so I no longer had the desire to say anything that was inappropriate.
