Fine!!!!!

To compose our minds mean that we calm our emotions. Speaking in anger, frustration, or without careful thought, often leads to regret and misfortune. We cannot recall the hastily spoken word that destroys the friendship, crushes the heart, or ruins the trust. The thoughtfully spoken word eases pain, brings happiness, stimulates good will, creates courage, renews faith, bolsters a fallen ego, puts laughter in the heart and a sparkle in the eye. Intent is the key word in communication. If we intend that our words do not hurt but bring good cheer, we will speak in a manner that will see us rise high in the hearts of all with whom we communicate.

Are they NUTS?
WHATever...



Okay.....maybe there's more than one way to look at things....

I have a mouth. And I'm pretty convinced that G-d intends I should use it. LOL
Yes, I also have two ears.
Really. I do listen well--even if I don't 'obey'.

I'll do what I do.

Just cuz someone 'says'--doesn't mean I oughta 'do'.....it's just them sayin'....

And if I do opt for 'doing'--it's still a choice and I don't get to 'blame' someone for the doings.

Truth is....

My mouth gets me in trouble. (like that's a separate part that I'm not accountable for? DARN mouth.....)
Being the quick think that I am, I can't even play the "I didn't think" card.
I think very rapidly.
More than likely it's "I didn't care enough to exercise good judgement"....and sometimes it's even "I'm right, you're wrong--so pfffffffttttt, there ya go!!!"

Oops.
"Oops" my arse....

It's rare that I stumble into a 'mouth' problem that I didn't intend to create in the first place.
And if I can hide behind "I didn't think", then I can be the victim instead of the offender.
Then I can squiggle out of being accountable.....hopefully.....




Rawr.

I don't like when he's right and I'm wrong.
