Today my friend and I went to see an art show at a museum. We decided to rent the audio and I later realized I used to be terribly prejudiced against using audio. That was when I was a know-it-all. Now I appreciate more the perspective of the voices of the curators, and in this case, the artist himself. I don't want to be narrow and right, I'd rather be fluid and see others points of view. Both my friend and I were impressed with the show and the artist. Our viewing was facilitated by hearing what information the audio gave us, and enhanced by our own shared impressions. The artist's wit and point of view were more easily absorbed because of the audio.
Right speech is also right shutting up and letting an expert guide and enlighten you. We did that and came out of the museum enthusiastic and with postcards of our favorite works. Now there is added color in our world, with this discovery of an artist we both respond to. Delightful!
