Today feels like one of those days where I could say any number of offensive and hurtful things. For example I would like to tell some of my colleagues "It is okay that you don't give have a crap about the students; I still do." Or I would like to say to some 'friends' "It is totally fine that you treat me like an option even though I always make you a priority." And to others "I don't want to freaking deal with you any more so I am removing you from my life."
However, I will not say any of these things because I have been reminded of James' words. The tongue is a small spark that sets your whole life on fire. I do not want to ruin any part of my life just because I am in a bad mood today. It is not any one's fault that I don't feel well. Therefore, I should not take it out on anyone. So my exercise for today is to keep my mouth shut and hold my tongue even if it hurts.
