If there is a way for us to compensate for all the troubles we may have caused others, we must do this as much as necessary. Life is already unfair and full of injustice. We must not contribute anymore with all of these unwanted expressions. If there is anything we observed which could be offensive, we must try our best to just keep this to ourselves. Ask yourself if what you are about to say had anything good to offer to the listener. If not then don’t say it.
