" Theach not thy lips such scorn for it was made for kissing." -Shakespeare Let us make no bone of it A tongue is strong and mighty cool It can break a heart or then mend it too! At times it is biting frosty blue More piercing than the icy winds Words that trouble burn like wood Like throng of hammer on hot iron Slowly wears and breaks down soon Black as carbon, polished diamond, Speech can weigh on either scale! It can make a life or break like volcano lava Feel and calculate what you say! Before it is late and brings on hate Weigh your words in any state Often rash words breathe out fire Numbs the senses, friends are lost Bad and evil the spoken words Is never peaceful, never sound Eardrums throbbing hounded on Of syllables mismatched to the lobes The fury of the words unleased Wells up speechless pain in mind It breaks a friendship then cannot mend Carry bad vibes till the end Talk is better sweet and dear! Bringing foes together and friends so near! And if a mistake happens so A heart felt sorry will do more wonders What is life worth if you don’t speak well? J K Roseline

I think too much is made of what people say, sometimes in haste, and sometimes from misinformation. Gossip can be most hurtful. The strong individual sees it for what it is and moves on. The weak individual lets it work on his or her psyche and the ever comes to a reasonable conclusion.

If someone hurts you by what they say, it is best to talk to them and ask them why they said it. Many a long-standing disagreement could be resolved simply by asking someone, "Why did you say that about me?" Anger and misery never got anyone anywhere.

Well done! Yes I agree, in fact the Bible tells us the tongue is like a two edge sword. It is capable of saying words that are sweet for the soul and harsh words that can cut like a knife. In our home we use knives for cutting fruits and vegetables. Peace be with you.

Amen
