Ashamed afterwards?

Utter only the words of which we won’t be ashamed afterwards, which we won’t regret saying.  It is easy to discourage, it is far too easy,  all to easy to criticize, to complain, to poke a painful subject. 

Why? Because we react with hate, fear, and defense to the perception of the words that have hurt us, or we FEEL were intended to hurt us. 

Have you every been caught in one of those conversation that all of a sudden took a left turn and you realized that you had been very misunderstood in what you were saying?  It can be shocking afterwards to realize how it went wrong especially when your intentions are so sincere.  But it happens.

Let us try instead to be more quick to see even a small amount of good in a person and concentrate on that.  Let us be more quick to praise than to complain.  Is the words that you spoken to another human being something that you are proud of or do the words leave you ashamed for being so judgemental?

We should be generous in our judgements of others, for we can never really know all there is to know about another.
