A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit


When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead


The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their migh


The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead


Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died


The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die


He jumped even harder and finally made it out


When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time


This story teaches two lessons


There is power of life and death in the tongue


An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day


A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them


So, be careful of what you say

... rather be more careful what you utter inside your heart. Politicians and lawyers (in general) do care about what they say but they don’t care what they say inside their hearts .

Saladeen, it’s not always easy to control the inner voice. :-)

That’s why heart can always make a person checkmate if a person dare to stand in the mirror of his/her own heart. :-)

Nobody has the right to see their fellow down, unless it is just to help them to get up.
