The mouth--a weapon or a tool

An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Proverbs 11:9 KJV

There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.
Richard Rybolt
- More quotations on: [Patience]

LAB comments: The mouth can be used as a weapon or a tool, hurting relationships or building them up. Sadly, it is often easier to destroy than to build, and most people have received more destructive comments than those that build up. Every person you meet today is either a demolition site or a construction opportunity, Your words will make a difference. Will they be weapons for destruction or tools for construction?
My comments: We may simply eat but not simply talk with our mouth! Our mouth can get us into deep trouble, Ahmad Ismail, the Umno chief of Bukit Bedera division had been just suspended yesterday by Umno supreme council for calling the Malaysian Chinese "pendatang or penumpang"(lodgers) who therefore cannot enjoy equal rights.
