If you have nothing nice to say then....

So what's the big deal with saying nothing verses what's really on your mind to say, It's simple. When you demean or put down another human being for whatever reason it will not win you a Nobel Peace prize, bring you respect, make you a person to cherish, I could go on. It's never been proven that breaking down another human being does any significant real or permanent good for either party involved. Really how long will you the one throwing the negative acid feel good about it. The only proven thing to help people recover faster, be lifted up, or even feed peace in life is positive words spoken and heard. A criminal is someone whose negative influences and encounters out weigh the positive ones. So every time you spit out vile words keep in mind what part you play in the bigger picture of life and just how far your negative words spoken in a moment of pain will go. You will never hurt as much as your words do. Hold your tongue 'For the power of life and death are in the tongue.'- Proverb 18:21(The Bible)
