The Power of Words

It the midst of a conflict, we need to be very careful of what we say. Because our words can either be inflammatory or conciliatory. They can be wounding or healing. Impulsive words said without thinking can injure beyond our intention and damage beyond our control. And once they're spoken, they can never be taken back. Once they leave our mouths, they can never be retrieved. Therefore, in a conflict, control what you say. Do whatever you have to in order to keep from saying something you'll be sorry for later. Suggestions? Always say the second thing that comes to your mind. Count to ten before you speak. If you can't say anything nice... Comment here.
