The joys and sorrows of speaking, etc.

I offended a girl today. I made an inadvertent insensitive remark about her appearance. It was about her hair. Bad mistake. Never make negative comments in public about a girl's appearance. She will not appreciate it. Trust me. We guys treat it as "constructive criticism", but they don't.
Guys seem to have problems connecting their brains to their mouths, especially around girls. We sometimes blurt out things we wish we could catch and draw back on a line before they reach anyone's ears, but life isn't so kind to us. More often than not, our blabbering lips unnecessarily land us in tight spots and in the bad books of others. I cannot measure the amount of trouble my wayward gab has brought me since the day I learned to speak.
It just shows that God knows best. It says in the book of Proverbs in the Bible: "Even a fool is thought wise if he holds his tongue". We would do well to take heed to that invaluable nugget of wisdom. Doing so would save us a lot of grief in our relationships.
