"The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but a tongue of perversity will be cut off." Proverbs 10:31
So very much of Proverbs deals with what we say. How we speak. Honesty is at the heart of all we do. We who know the Truth, know wisdom, and to know is to be one with. If we are one with He who is the Truth, then we speak truth. Always. No exceptions. We who know Love, are one with Love, will speak in love. The two are not exclusive. Truth in love. Always for the good of the other. A truth that does not help, does not build up, does not exhort to greater love, we will hold. For the wise knows when to be silent and when to speak.
All of these proverbs i read back in January at the invitation of my uncle. When i read this, the capitol riot was still fresh in my ears. The rhetoric we have heard so much of was still fresh in my mind. And i cannot help but wonder if we have no reaped what we have sown.
