WORDS WE SPEAK AND THE PAIN THEY BRING.
The Bible says "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh". So for every word spoken in your face, more are spoken behind you and even more remain lying in the heart.
God in his "omini-wisdom" allowed us private thoughts. Thoughts we think within ourselves. Thoughts known only to us,unless shared with another. Now that is where the problem begins.
Too bad some of these thoughts are not always enhancting. You know what they say, "information is power". Power that can be used to build-up oneself, or be used to destroy another.
Many of us know Kim Kardashian of the sex-tape fame. She has redefined herself in a million other ways successfully. But before everything was turned to her advantage, the scandal seemed like it had dinted her beyond cleansing.
What "she did" was no taboo. All the buzz came up because private activities found its way to public light. People have sex everyday, everywhere, everytime, literally. The teeming population of the world is a good pointer to that.
Private activities coming to light is the major recipe for a scandal. That is how information festers.
Everyone hold opinions, some express it as they feel it to confidants. Private conversations shared to the exclusion of everyone else aside the listener(s).
The world would be a mute place if we all keep our thoughts to ourselves. It would not only be mute, but would be confused, void of emotion, and without direction as well. How would we communicate, how would we share?
But not all information are meant for public broadcast. If all private conversations should make it to public audience, WW III would begin within a week.
If everyone becomes aware of what anyone, everyone has ever spoken about them, we would have no friends, we would all turn on each other. There is nothing that turns friend against friend, brother against brother, family against family faster than private conversations shared to a wider audience.
Private conversations should be what it is - private.
Sadly, people fail to realize who should bear the shame. The shame should be on the person who broke the confidentiality trusted on him or her. Regardless of whatever was disclosed.
If all private moments are revealed and made public, no one would be able to hold their head up high.
It takes strength of character to say all you wish to say to people to their face,instead of at their backs. But not everyone can bear the brot of the truth, hence the need to speak it to another.
