THE HORIZON IS THERE, JUST WALK TO IT.

If we borrow from the richness of the Buddhist tradition, for example, right-communication means avoiding unmindful speech such as lying, exaggerating, gossiping, saying one thing to one person and something else to another, or using abusive language. Right-communication, then, would be to practice being thoughtful, truthful and kind in your communication. It would mean becoming more aware of the language you use — not by being "politically correct" — but by choosing to avoid words, body-language and voice-tone that are put forth in a way that is hateful, cruel, belittling or divisive. Wisdom-teacher Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that we can choose more mindful speech to "speak truthfully, with words that inspire self-confidence, joy and hope."

Right-communication may well have its own very simple Golden Rules: Speak unto others as you would have them speak unto you, and ensure that your actions are in sync with your words.
