Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise? (Psalm 94:8)
Ouch! How much it hurts!
Here I go again, throwing the complaint card to you. But, it hurts when you get called a tonto (or a fool, in Spanish), when you unknowingly act like one in front of people. How much stupid things I've said in front of people, in front of my family, in front of myself? How much the inadequacy of shutting up or becoming a shlep affect me from being one? I will never be wise enough to counter what I've already dug.
I am developing remorse for everything stupid I've said (and I've lost count!) in these seven months alone.
Lo and behold, I'm a human.
Just as I pray, "cover where I fail", I will look to God for help on this area. Being funny is not that bad, but just acting like a total shlep with what I say will just cause me trouble anywhere. Even with myself. I have faith that God will help me make wise decisions, especially with what I say.
I know that I'll never be wise enough to say nothing foolish, but at least... it's a start.
