"Theeyinal Sutrapun Ullarrum Aaradhae
Navenaal Sutta Vadu" - Kural 129
Thiruvalluvar gives much importace to the words spoken by human beings. He says that a wound caused by burning fire will heal in course of time, but a wound caused by caustic words uttered by the tongue will never heal.
Moreover words once uttered cannot be repealed or annuled in true sense.
Just like how once the tooth paste is out of the tube, there is no way to push it back into the tube, so are words. So think before you speak and exercise self control on what you speak....
Let's see Kural number 127
Yagava rayenum nakaaka kaavaakaal
Sogappar sollizukhu pattu.
Let men govern their tongue - Thiruvalluvar says. If they fail to control it, their words will lose their weight, and beware - grief will overwhelm them.
Let's see Kural 100
Eniya Ulavaaka Ennatha Kooral
KaniErukka Kaaikavarntha Tatru
When the choice of words is entirely under one's control, and when sweet words are readily available, using bitter and harsh words is like eating unripe tasteless fruits when sweet ripe fruits are available.
