Ever wonder why we have 2 ears but only 1 mouth? It's because we need to listen twice as much as we speak. There's always a price for the words that comes out from our mouth. For the same tongue we confess our love to our love ones, compliment/praise others, and we use to same tongue to gossip, curse, lie, slander, etc. We do feel awkward talking to others if we are aware of our disgusting bad breath. So do we slander and then continue talking to others?
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. The most dangerous and poisonous tongue is those who gossips and slanders. Ever went into a discussion with your peers talking about another individual. From commenting the slightest appearance to their personality, to their weakness,and then to those pathetic negative opinion towards him/her. Try to think of it. Your peer whom you discuss with, don't you think he/she won't talk comment on you behind your back? Treat others the way you want to others to treat you.
Think before you speak. Listen twice as much as we speak.
