Kind words do not cost much yet they accomplish much.   I think that this precept means that if you can use kind words they don’t cost anything to use. But they accomplish much. using kind words can make others happy and it makes you a good person.

When your nice your usually treated nice back. It’s like the Sept Precept “When given the choice between being right and being kind choose kind”. When you choose to use Kind words your being kind. That’s what I think this precept means.

-Aylah
