something that i’ve always known but never realized just how potent it can be has been my wicked tongue. words do hurt and i’ve regretted a number of things i’ve said in the past couple of months. just today, i got a reminder about how wicked i can be. and in my position, as a somewhat respectable fellow, my words cut deeper. and that is the point of all my meditation. to learn to control my emotions in the most intense arguements. so, it’s readily apparent that I still have a long way to go.
