Our Words Are Like Toothpaste: Think Before You Speak to Avoid the Mess
Think before we speak, and make sure our words are going to be put to good use before we let them out.” Once words come out of our mouths, no amount of “I’m sorry” will make them go back in. Thinking before we speak gives us time to consider the potential impact of our words.
It's like we squeeze the tube of toothpaste. When we squeeze, the toothpaste will come out, but we can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Toothpaste represents the words we speak. Once we say something that we want to take back, it's impossible, and it only creates a mess.
