What we say

I have to say that I spend considerable time on the telephone participating in teleconference. The calls can be taxing on one's patience.
So when I heard of this - I thought to myself that words have implications.

Matthew 12:34-37
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Seems like this is one of the universal truths - in all religous traditions.
