DIRE SITUATION

3/13/2023

 
Picture
















​There is a family member I know that walked into an equipment store and asked the store clerk, "Do you have a diarrhea? Sorry a screw instead. He was having one apparently and had to quickly check if he had the urge to go when the calamity strikes. But since, the word "D" is top of mind, that's the one that just got blurted out of the blue.

That hurt my stomach laughing at this silliest and most honest mistake. How come we can't seem to control our tongue in moments when we should be more polite or proper? Amazing, how this censorship out of our socialization gets thrown out of the window with a slip of a tongue,  or in a form of a half-joke, or a sarcasm hidden behind good flattery.

Our expression is what we all have and how we use language, control it, contort it and conceal its real meaning is a trait that requires its own perfection.  A sage person remarked, that "the one that can control his mouth, is the one that can control his destiny."

Except in a dire situation such as this when nature wants a release, it pays to have a complete rein in on our mouths. Less talk, less trouble.
