The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 18:21

oh how we have let our tongues loose
to curse and swear at the slightest things



With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness..



from the simple boast of a favored soccer team, the tongue can twist it into the utter insult and put down of another.. necessary? feelings are hurt, anger riled..



we are made to have different tastes and preferences anyway.. if everyone liked the same thing, supported the same team, listened to the same music, there'd be no invention and creativity in the first place.. no competition, no excitment.. so why attempt to make everyone like what you like?



and in the process, you defile your lips.. brilliant move
this is not a personal attack
wit and humour can morph into sarcasm, which bites.. watch your tongue



if emotions are stirred, what was the point of your 5 seconds of laughter?



different people have different degrees of tolerance and sensitivity.. be wise with your choice of words..



because your tongue has power.. it can bring life, or it can suck the very life you fight to preserve right down to the last drop..
