The Poisonous Fire

Back in time or present age, huge large gigantic ships are all still given directions just by a small rudder. Take the example of even the enormous air-planes steered by the small rudders. A small bit on the mouth of horses can turn the whole animal... A small spark can turn the whole forest into ashes consuming everything that it touches leaving no trace of life... Such is this small part of our body that makes great boasts, that's bone-braking, crafty, perverse, a sharpened razor that causes destruction, a world of evil, a deadly arrow, a deadly snare, a part that can corrupt the whole body, a part that sets the whole course of one's life on fire, a restless evil, full of deadly poison... our tongue...
Human strength, might, intelligence and authority is, over all kinds of creatures, be it of the atmosphere, lithosphere or hydrosphere or be it the biggest of inventions or the smallest of discovered facts or elements; everything but one small part that human is unable to tame...
The words of the wicked are of no value; a perverse tongue crushes the spirit... the mouth of the fool gushes folly... the words of the reckless pierce like swords.. 
The tongue has the power of bringing both life and death...
It is in our control to choose right, in our mind to select the right words, to be right!
The words of our mouth can be, must be and ought to be perfect, that actually are of more value than gold; like the prudent, one with understanding that holds his tongue with patience; like the mouth of the righteous that utters wisdom and all that is just; like the soothing tongue that is like a tree of life, like the tongue of the wise that adorns knowledge, that brings healing...
Why waste the awesome small life in filth and dirt of the earth, when together just by a little effort can we make this world a better place..
