My mom always said 'If you can't say something nice about someone, then don't say anything at all.'
But sometimes I might just be itching to say something mean and nasty about someone. Especially if it makes me appear even more perfect. Or if it hurts the reputation of person I am about to say something about. If that person had hurt me or upset me, then it's very tempting to use words as sticks and stones.
I wonder if many conversations wouldn't lag tremendously if everyone lived by what my mother said.
