Talk is dangerous

If you like company and love to talk, you have to watch your words, in case your tongue gets you into trouble when you least intended it to. People are so easily offended.

If you don't mix much and seldom talk, you can still get into trouble, because people will infer that you are too stand-offish and proud.

It is important to think before speaking. The sages advise: -

"Mischief all comes from much opening of the mouth."
