A Mighty Weapon

The pen is mightier than the sword; but the tongue is a claymore, another manifestation of the weapon itself.

17102009~ The tongue is like a double- edged sword. Every time a person speaks, they swing the weapon around. Every that comes out is like every swing. A careful person watches his blade, avoiding blows to the other. On the other hand, a careless person swings his sword around without caring or knowing whether he has hurt others or not.

i'm the latter, unfortunately. Recently, i hurt someone without knowing it. It is when she wrote in her blog, then i found out. Of course, the first action i took was to apologise. The next day i asked another friend of mine on whether i had hurt her before, she told me yes. The most recent one was when she asked me the same question twice, which i had already answered. The third time she asked, i said,' You already asked me twice, how can you forget?' These nine words is enough to hurt her. ( The reason i asked another 'young lady' was because females are generally more easy to get hurt than males.)

Just two confirmations of my actions (in this case, words) is more than enough for me to reevaluate my... ... way of speech(?, i couldn't think of the words i want)

Psalms 37: 30

The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom,

and his tongue speaks what is just.

~CXXVII~
