Well I'm probably reading between the lines here, but this couldn't possibly be about that lovely, honest and way too orange president elect, could it?

Each grants esteem to that which they find honorable so the greater treachery may lie in the self betrayal of emotions. Or, as the old proverb advises, "Discretion will keep you."
Humans are so wired for survival; we will emphasize the negative in hopes of avoiding it; a good plan; but we are also humans and have bad moments. It is such a shame that a thousand words of love can be overshadowed by a few words spoken in anger or jealousy, fear.
i need to be more mindful of my words. i grew up in australia, we curse a lot down there. said some nasty things in my life. i know it only brings woe on me.

Native American saying: "White man speak with forked tongue". and if you want to take it further, half of America speak with forked tongue. and, to be even more real, America speak with forked tongue. sorry Jacob, perhaps we should listen to some Dylan/Jimi when he spoke straight: "let's not speak falsely now, the hour is getting late.." The door is open wider now, the sky will darken with hate speak, with "despicable words' and even worse deeds.
