To ‘talk’ is an essential factor for human beings to lead a life of fulfillment. ‘Talking’ is the easiest and strongest way of communication, which ties one with others. But sometimes this same act of talking creates a lot of troubles in our lives.
The story of Mahabharata is the best example to realise to what extent a slip of tongue can create crisis. A heart-breaking word that escaped the tongue of a lady, sparked the destruction of the whole dynasty. These words had sown a seed of hatred and revenge in the mind of Duryodhana and the fire of revenge not only claimed the whole dynasty of Kauravas, but Draupadi herself lost her father, brother and all her children. Such was the terrible outcome of just a slip of the tongue.
The Almighty Authority, Supreme Godfather has always said, “Sweet children, flowers jewels of knowledge should always come out from your mouth and not stones and thorns that will give others sorrow.” Hence our way of talking should always be the one that gives others bliss and makes them feel blessed and elevated. A person, who thinks and then speaks, would always be considered a ‘Sensible Person’. There are many people in this world who have soured their relations with almost everyone only because of a silly ‘slip of tongue’.
Hence, we must always remember that talking with the use of proper words at a proper time the use of proper words at a proper time and in a proper place would make our ‘talk’ valuable and successful. But this is possible only when we are going to talk. So, always ‘think before you talk’ and save yourself from miseries.
