Human tongue has many uses.
We use it for tasting.
It helps in chewing and swallowing.
And it aids in talking or singing.
But do you know that our tongue is so powerful and deadly?
It hurts a person in an instant.
It causes sleepless nights and loss of appetite.
It can break a family apart.
And it can also cause suicide.
So we should think before we talk.
Listen and understand before we speak.
Never think that words are harmless
It can cause wounds even if it is a joke.
Be very careful with the words we are going to use.
Because once it is said, it can never be taken back or deleted.
We can forgive but we cannot forget.
Those harsh words will linger in our hearts and mind as long as we live.

If sword is mighty...
Pen is mightier...
But the mightiest is tongue.

People most of the days like to tell false tales about other people just for the fun of it.
But most of the time when they envy some one and had no clue about it.

I truly agree with this. As it is commonly said; "Sticks and stones may break your bones but words are ghosts that haunts you".

George Bernard shaw has said - "Till you have not spoken, words are your slave. Once you have spoken, you are slave of your words."
It is, therefore, we should be very careful with out words, when speaking to others. One slip of tongue could cost us dearly.

@magallon We are human, sometimes we falter, even if we do not wish. Yes, bitter words could prove to be very harmful and could be more dangerous than any physical injury.

I think a human brain is more deadly than the tongue since it`s the power from the brain that made those tongues actions dangerous

@magallon Yes but we can still express it without a tongue even those hands can be dangerous

@m_audrey6788 i agree.. other parts of our body could also be dangerous but it is said that the tongue is the deadliest of them all.

Great reminder. Many relationships are destroyed because people are not careful with their words.
