RECKLESS TALK!!



TERLANSUNG PERAHU, BOLEH BALIK,
TERLANGSUNG CAKAP, TAK BOLEH BALIK!!"

A ship, once launched may be recalled,
But a word once uttered cannot be recalled!!"

As a young boy I used to take the Ferry from Pulau Pinang to go to seberang Prai.But the ferries are recalled to their ports by the Harbour Master after running their routes. But  unfortunately,once our words are out, they cannot be recalled by any  authority in Heaven or  on Earth. And therein lies our helplessness and regrets.Words uttered are not like those written on the seashore, erased by the next incoming wave.They stay etched in the human memory for a lifetime- and maybe beyond that.Keep your words in- and you won't be spending a sleepless night!! Remember- dont make a monkey of yourself. VJ
