Our tongues are so small. Must be well under 1% of our body mass.
Yet they are very hard to control.
Without a moments hesitation they can erupt causing years of damage.
Tongues start wars. A cutting retort will start a divorce or a rift in a family.

A single word in a sentence can change the whole intent of the sentence.
One sharp reply can alter a whole relationship for weeks.
A whole horse is directed by the bit in its mouth. An ocean liner turned by the rudder.
A persons life can be changed by an ill tempered ill kept tongue.

A sarcastic unwarranted reply pours scorn where none should be.
The good reply is a soothing balm to the scalds of life.
Good diplomats are well regarded, they stop wars and avoid conflict.


"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks."
Luke 6:45

Good diplomats are well regarded, they stop wars and avoid conflict"

a good lesson there....thanks for that.

''The tongue can be misused often, such as for evil deeds. Communism and Islamisism are prime examples''.
