Let’s all be masters of our mouths, so that we won’t be slaves of our words.
Once an old man spread
rumours that his neighbour was a thief. As a result, the young man was
arrested. Days later the young man was proven innocent. After being released he
sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.
In the court the old man told the Judge: “They were just comments, didn’t harm
anyone.” The judge told the old man: “Write all the things you said about him
on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper
out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence.”
Next day, the judge told
the old man: “Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather
all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday.”
The old man said: “I can’t
do that! The wind spread them and I won’t know where to find them.”
The judge then replied: “The
same way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent
that one is not able to fix it. If you can’t speak well of someone, rather
don’t say anything.”
Moral Of The Story: Let’s
all be masters of our mouths, so that we won’t be slaves of our words.
