Lately i have realized how little i think about the words i say before i say them. and how little others do to. the tongue is a weapon. we can us it for harm or good. we, as Christians are to use it for the latter. the words, "i couldn't help it" often follow the words of Christians when they are used for harming or destroying. people laugh and say, "it was too good of an opportunity". this is what it sounds like they are saying to me.
"even though you are my friend and i love you, i have the temptation to say something hurtful towards you and tear you down rather than build you up. because i think this will make me look good, funny, or witty, i will say it. i am sorry... okay, not really."
so please, instead of trying to climb the next rung in the "ladder of coolness" pull that friend you supposedly "love" up to where you are. trust me. it might not seem to help. but it does. one kick in the face from a friend who is trying so hard to succeed you in that ladder can be so painful. and it will ultimately pull you down on their "ladder of coolness" as well, something you don't want if they are truly your friend.
