We have all been in that space where our words are used in the most thoughtless ways. We say things out of anger because the triggers have caused us to lose self-control. We can speak words that can destroy a person leaving them to feel useless and unwanted. We use the tongue to destroy our children's self-esteem. We use words to get the things we want in life.

We use them to build one another up or tear each other down.
