Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had
guardian angels who would watch our every move 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and slap us in the forehead just before we
say something stupid?
If we could have these slaphappy
angels, the world would be much quieter and a nicer place to live, I’d bet, but there’d also be a lot of people with severe cases of
whiplash and many, many
concussions.
Of course, there is a very good
substitute for these slaphappy
angels…and that, of course, would be thinking before speaking. If one thinks about it, many of the fights and skirmishes we have are because someone said something stupid. Now if they had been smacked or thought about the consequences before they’d said anything, the fight may not have occurred.
And most people’s reactions to this would be…”So, where can I buy one of these
angels of which you speak?”
