Some people speak word through the joke and one will say I was only
joking but to the receiver the word meant something else. Words that spoken by
people at times they are very dangerous and at times they soften the heart,
such words are they from the heart.
Why then, do we find it so difficult to refrain from
saying words we know will only harm? Controlling what we say, though, how hard
do we really try? Is it simply a form of self discipline that we are lacking, We
seek to control every single aspect of our lives.
Surely it is easier to harness the power of a wild horse than to reign in your tongue. It does seem to take on a life of its own bursting out of control at times when emotions are elevated. Whether we are quickly placing our foot in our mouth or cutting down another driver in rush hour traffic, it is a problem to most of us.
