happenings?

i made 2 very odd observations these 2 weeks. they brought me thinking along the way.

1. eyes
eyes really tell alot. the way ppl look, the meaning behind the eyes. it's all so complex but yet simple. eyes often bring out the true feelings inside of a person. eyes are often the voice of the unspoken. eyes are the windows of one's soul.

through eyes, one sees the world. through eyes, the world feels them.

2. figure of speech
often when ppl are put to the test of rebutting and defending impromptu, they often show their true feelings, character and values. they will speak for what they believe in and what they stand for if they were to be provoked without warning. in just an ordinary conversation, when people speak before they think, their true feelings are revealed and they let the cat out of the bag. how often, these words hurt people and unknowingly, the speaker has done damage to which he/she never intended to. true, we are to take everything with a pinch of salt. but too much salt isn't healthy either. (pun unintended) feelings of anger and unjust may bottle up and spill over to innocent people overtime or may even cause illnesses and destroy a soul.

even the Bible states that
"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise."
Proverbs 10:19

"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."
Proverbs 12:18

"Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue."
Proverbs 17:28

and so many more verses. but, quoting so much can only do so much. do we put to practise?
