Improper Words Change Relations

On some occasions, we have good friends getting together to chat. It is a great pleasure.
But, we must watch our own words about what we talk about. If improper words are used, our friendship may be spoiled and we may be strangers again.
Such situations happen sometimes. When we speak, we must not speak words to hurt others, or bad consequence will follow. It should be avoided.
When young people are together, they may speak carelessly, even to hurt others. Young people do not care what others speak about.
Middle-aged people with conversations between friends must be careful. An improper word may spoil their relationship forever.
We Chinese have an old saying that sickness is from the mouth, distance is out the mouth. Our mouth controls our whole life in states of both safety and danger.
We have also a saying: “Silence is golden.” This is not fully right. We must speak when needed not saying nothing like a fool.
