OH, ME AND MY BIG MOUTH!
A wink, sexy look or a
look with desire, I never had these kinds of problem but I may have with the “chattering
fool”. I may interpret this as given unsolicited advises, thoughtless comments
or “honest opinions” which others were not asking for.
Advises, comments and
opinions should be given with prompt and should be
solicited first before the
distribution. In short, wait for the
other person to ask for it before giving it!
Mindless uttering of honest opinions however thoughtful it may be or just a result of concern over the other, I could have ended up hurting other people’s feelings and the
pay back is a disaster…worst if the person I hurt started talking behind my
back with the intention to destroy my life using negative comments, gossips and
lies… then I am at the most dangerous situation. In the bible, King Solomon
said:
Proverbs 10:10
New International
Version (NIV)
10 Whoever winks maliciously causes grief,
and a chattering fool comes to ruin.
and a chattering fool comes to ruin.

Magandang Balita
Biblia (TPV)
Ang malilikot na mata ay lagi sa
kaguluhan, ang bibig na maluwang hahantong sa kapahamakan.
My entire life could be
ruin! My job could be in danger and it would be so painful if my family could
get hurt because of it. I could end up blaming “Me and My Big Mouth!”
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, You have always taught me to be
honest but you also taught me to love others by being mindful of what I am going to say to my fellowmen…friends, relatives, and family. I am not perfect
and there could be times that I could forget this and make a mistake. A talkative
person like me is weak; I am going to need a lot of Your help in this area, Dear
Lord. Help me soothe the pain I caused to other people as much as You would
keep me away from harm. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Lesson Learned:
There is always a proper timing…even with words.
Some people who give "honest" opinions in reality just want to show you how right they are. Some people :)
TumugonBurahinYou could be right. Thanks for your views! God bless!
BurahinThe chattering fool is likely to be the person who talks too much, often placing himself in a compromising situation.
TumugonBurahinA lot of times I find myself just keeping mum para walang gulo, pero hindi din naman pwedeng lagi tayong mananahimik na lang. so let's pray for discernment to know when it is appropriate to speak up or be quiet. :)
Yes, I agree. God bless!
BurahinI agree with Vera, we should develop discernment. When there's a need to voice out something, speak out but there's a time to shut up also. Sometimes, no matter how we say things, it will still hurt, but it helps in knowing that when we say something that will hurt, we do it out of love pa rin.
TumugonBurahinYou are so true, Family can understand when we do it out of love..some close friends too..pero pag kakilala lang some of them would not take it as a concern...I go for vera and King solomon. thanks for comment sis! God bless!
BurahinOoops, I am always reminded to keep quiet when I have nothing good to say and I guess this is the best thing to do, lol.
TumugonBurahinhahaha..nice that you had that one who reminds you! TC! God bless!
BurahinSometimes, we really need to think first before we speak in order to avoid more serious problems. However, most of the times, we don't apply this one. I am guilty about this. hehehe
TumugonBurahinLess talk, less mistake nga po, hehe. Pero minsan talagang hindi din natin makontrol ang ating mga bibig. Hehe
TumugonBurahinGiving opinion is good, but don't push it, we must learn to respect each other's. Your opinion is always as good as mine.
TumugonBurahinI'm trying to control my big mouth from time to time and as much as possible give opinions only when solicited. hehehe
TumugonBurahinmost of the time i keep my mum and choose not to say my opinion, but if i am ask that is the time I will talk..
TumugonBurahinRosemarie/Gven-Rose
Words can sometimes be swords, and there are times we use them as weapons. We should learn to be way beyond that and learn when to speak and when not to...
TumugonBurahinI agree. When I teach Filipino, I say, 'makapangyarihan ang wika. Maaari itong magbuo o sumira ng isang bansa.'
TumugonBurahinay, sometimes i like that...chattering fool, haha!
TumugonBurahinbut sometimes naman, i keep mum na lang; wait na lang na hingan ng opinion
I tend to blurt out sometimes, sometimes, I just think to myself that if I can't say something nice, I just better shut my mouth. Much safer that way.
