We humans often feel compelled to talk. To talk a little bit more. Followed by more talking. In many situations, this only leads to disaster. Saying the wrong thing can hurt people. Asking the wrong questions can hurt people as well.
We would all be wise to take into consideration the words that we speak to one another. Most likely, there are people in our life that we could go without talking to. If so, then stop speaking to them. If talking to a certain person only reveals emotions and feelings that are not healthy, stop speaking with that person. Texting and emailing apply as well.
If we really think about it, there are probably only a few choice people in our life that we HAVE to talk to. Now, I'm not saying that it is ok to be rude and ignore people who try to have a conversation with us, but we don't have to delve out to them every detail of our life when answering a question. In fact, most questions can be answered with a simple yes or no.
We, and this applies just as much to me as it does everyone else, need to realize that too much talk leads to sin. Keeping our mouths shut, as well as keeping our fingers idle instead of typing away at texting and instant messaging, very well may help us lead more sensible lives.
If you are anything like me, you could use a little more sense in your life. One of the best ways to do this is to stop talking, texting, and emailing so much. Have a great day!!!
P.S. And if you feel you must talk, try talking to the man above. And then keep your mouth shut so you can hear what he has to say. That's just a tip I thought I would throw in.
