Biting your tongue

You ever have those days when there is something that just needs to be said, but as luck may have it you must keep your mouth closed on the matter? I seem to have this at some point in my day, every day.

Usually this is something that needs to be done when you disagree with someone, other times it is because whatever you think you should say may not need to be said at that time.  Now I am a very sarcastic person and have what I like to call 'a sharp tongue.'  Anyone could say one thing and my tongue lashes out the comback right on cue.  I will admit that this may not be needed every time, funny or not, but it is something that needs to be learned on how to control.  The tongue needs to be used properly (get your mind out of the gutter) and trained as if it were a pet.  I may not have it harnessed completely, but I am working on it.

Today it had to do with something that I did not completely agree with.  My head started to feel hot, my pits decided to sweat, and I pierced my lips together so I did not say anything.  I may not have completely agreed or disagreed with what was being said, but I felt like I was being attacked.  I really don't like to be considered 'the dumb one.'  If I allowed myself, I get really nasty and attack on my own.  The sad part about is, that I don't play nice in an attack.  I PLAY DIRTY.

So, sometimes for the sake of maybe a relationship, of how you feel about someone, of maturity or responsibility, etc, I must say it is better to hold thy tongue.  Who knows some day it might actually get cut off if you don't contain it.
