One Who Is Hasty in Words

📝Reflection

A word that leaps out before a thought ripens usually leaves me wishing I could gather it back. A hastily spat remark often costs more than a long-chewed silence. This verse coolly warns against the one hasty in words. The ease of thinking three times and speaking once is, in fact, the fastest road. When the mouth runs ahead, the heart is always worn out chasing it. Simply delaying a word by one beat makes half of regret disappear.
