The March precept is “Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.” By: Blaise Pascal. This means to me that if someone is feeling bad and you don’t usually say things nice to anyone you can talk to them and tell them “You’re perfect the way you are”, “You are you don’t change that” etc. they do not cost much means (to me) it won’t kill you to say some nice words, they accomplish so much the person that was sad, after you said those nice things they turned down to up.
The March precept also means (to me) that words that hurt people cost so much ” Why does it cost much?” you may be asking, this is how when you “buy” words that can hurt someone you have to deal with the guilt and the pain you gave that person when you could’ve bought the kind words and have a guilt free life, it accomplishes so much when you just say nice words than words that can hurt.
