My Monster

I'll admit it. I've got a monster. It's an ugly beast. 
Unmanageable, Untameable, Underestimated, and unwanted.
However, with very strict regulation, it can become less of a threat.

I'm referencing, of course, the tongue - a vile demon - forged in the fire of hate, and malice. It desires to spark conflict, or deceit. It spreads out traps and manipulation, hoping to ensnare any and all who fall prey to the cunning wickedness that is an unbridled tongue.

How is it, that something so small, can have such an immense role in everything we do?
The capabilities of it, stretches far beyond the sinful nature of man. 
It can also be an exceptionally powerful tool. A tool that builds up, reinforces, or encourages others. 

The Bible says something to the effect of; "Can a spring bring forth both fresh, and saltwater?" (James 3:11) 
Why does this happen? Are we all just fakers? Are we building our own towers out of other people's bricks?
We use the same mouth to both pray to God, and then curse our neighbors. 

A lot of questions... 
What are your thoughts? 
Will you rise, and with me, work towards controlling this evil force?
Or will you let it overtake you?
The choice is yours!
