Man has been gifted the gift of speech by God except one who may be born dumb. The tongue is a supple organ and is ever ready to move; sometimes it move too fast. People talk and sometimes begin talking a lot and one who talks a lot does sometimes talk irrelevant and even irresponsible. Words come out and speech comes out naturally to man. So everyone has the power to speak but few have the efficiency to speak thoughtfully. Man is also gifted with the quality of reason. He is the only rational being. So he should make full use of his rational quality before giving his thoughts a speech. Thoughtless speech can create great complications. Every word should be measured with thought before being articulated. People, unthinkingly first speak out, and then have to come with a thousand explanations that they did not mean this, they did not mean that. This so often, keeps happening with political statements—once the statement is carelessly made then explanations are offered that the statement has been misquoted. Recklessness in speech can have disastrous results. Therefore, ‘reason’—the gift given to man by God should always be made full use of while speaking out. Cool and considered thinking before giving expression to one’s thoughts is the attribute of the wise. Speech should be used sparingly only when required as the money kept in the iron-safe of a miser.
