I used to belong to a weight loss group where we would repeat the phrase, "I will control my emotions, and not let my emotions control me". I know, from personal experience, there is pure turth in this statement. There are times when emotions get in the way of common sense - where the tongue is contolled by unbridled emotions. The result - hurt feelings, crushed confidence and self esteem. Emotions, left to freely flow, can leave a path of tears, anger, and create a sense of unworthiness and disbelief - just break your heart. And, statements said in the heat of an emotional storm, once made, cannot be undone. Once the damage is done - it just cannot be repaired - even if you want to forgive the person. No matter what - be careful what u say: words have power - words can....hurt. The saying" If you can't say anything nice, dont say anything", rings so true. When in doubt, when at all possible, strive to protect the heart, spirit and soul of another. You reap what you sow - sow good seed.
