       To look at it another way, what are some ways that we can speak negatively to, or about others? We can be jealous of them, speak angrily to them, we can snub them, not give them the credit that is due them, we can hold something negative in mind when we see them (perhaps something they did we didn’t like), and we can even intimidate others to try and get them to act in ways in which we feel are right. The problem with all of this, all of these negative thoughts which lead to negative speech, is that they are self-righteous. We feel we are right. We feel we have a right to do what we are doing. This is not what God has setup as his universal truth, though. These are not the ways God’s wants us to act. The reality is, no matter what you think, the thoughts, the beliefs, and finally, the things that come out of our mouths, and even our non-verbal communication, have an impact on others. This is for the positive or for the negative. I mean, it’s common sense right?
