Do you mind your tongue-or regret later?

hey nice story...
i do think twice before speaking...but when i am very angry i loose my thinking power and speak that comes to my mouth..

i do realise it quick and regret and apologise for my mistake..

ouch. there is no way the poor woman is able to take back those cotton balls, just like she is unable to take back those nasty words she said when gossiping...
it's easy to say i hate you cause you are feeling the anger. but it's hard to say you're sorry once it happens. if only we can turn back time.

I don't comprehend much what the "holy" man meant when he asked the woman to collect back the cotton balls. It may be that it is the same with the words we utter. It's impossible to collect them back. It is truly best for us to evaluate or think first before we say something because we cannot take back what comes out of our mouth. This is why the Bible tells us that the tongue is difficult to tame!

Some times, I think than do work. But some times First i work than think, what i have done.
Human are not so perfect that they will do all the things right. Mistake is a common phenomena of human like. God is right and nobody is right or perfect.

If it's on my mind you can bet it's going to come out my mouth, and I don't give a dam!!!!! If I spent my entire life minding my tongue, I'd never be able to say anyting.

Most of the people do regret.One has to have control pver his or her toungue.I usually don't speak when i am angry.It avoids many bad things which i might have said .

hi worthy,

generally, i do think before i speak. I am mindful of what my words could do to a person, i could be hurting or offending them with what i am saying. so i really try to be tactful.

But there are times that you just got carried away by your emotions and blurt out what you think and feel. well, sometimes this is quite healthy cause you make people around you know about how heavy your feelings are for that matter. Then there's also the downside that it could hurt people especially if its someone close to you.

By the way, it's a really nice story.

The holy man must have meant words once thrown our cant be collected back.. lol.. I mind my tongue to such a great extent that I end up regretting not having spoken at the right time. Later I always repent thinking I should have said this, I should have said that but the situation and the time would have long since passed. But there are times at which I really regret. Its mostly at home, when I scream at my parents and later feel very guilty. Outside I am very meek even to stand for my own rights. Hopefully I will change this soon
