This April 10, 2024 Insight Timer live event description:

Imagine being impeccable in speech and conduct. Let’s explore such an aspiration via topics like: intent / purpose, honesty, training, authenticity, sincerity, seriousness, humor, ease, intuition, wisdom, discernment, feedback, (self-) kindness, sympathy, mindfulness and the power of self-responsibility

And I read this snippet:

'Take another person who’s living with someone else. They come
to know: ‘For a long time this venerable’s deeds have been unbroken,
impeccable, spotless, and unmarred. Their deeds and behavior are
consistent. This venerable is ethical, not unethical.’ That’s why I said
that you can get to know a person’s ethics by living with them. But
only after a long time, not a short time; only when paying attention,
not when inattentive; and only by the wise, not the witless.'
