277. What's the Buddhist practice of Right Speech in the Face of Hate & Lies?

Waylon asks the question: what is the Buddhist practice of Right Speech when it comes to hate and greed and lies?

“From a Buddhist point of view, we need to be honest. We must not be harmful in our speech, but we need to be able to be frank. In fact, the Buddhist notion of idiot compassion would lead us to (hopefully) remember that allowing hate or lies or prejudice or violent speech to go unanswered in any way is actually harmful." ~ Waylon H. Lewis
