Our words are powerful,
Our tongues are lethal weapons.
Consider the damage you can do with an ill-considered,
Casual (to you), offhand remark.
A word said in a few
Seconds can open profound wounds in sensitive
People, that can take years to heal.
Consider your words very carefully.
Whenever you can,
Think about what you mean to say,
The real message you want to convey,
Then choose what you actually DO say.
The cliché about
‘your mouth is in gear, but your brain wasn’t
Driving’ describes something
That should be avoided at
All costs.
Think about the
Consequences of your words,
Before you Speak, and
Your actions, before
You act!
You can’t ‘Unsay’ a word once spoken, nor
Unsend and email, once sent.
“Words Like Lasers”
so mind your tongue
