It is very often among people, you will find them using their mouths to run a contest of who is more violent than the other, or who is badder than the other. These verbal violent contest can some times begin in such s simple manner, there may be an argument over a given subject, and a disagreement develops, and continues to get worse, and then turn into insults like, shut up your big mouth, you are nothing but a big fool, and the other person may say I am not as foolish as you and your mother, and then the other one may say, if you call my mothers name into this, I will kick you in your face, then the other person may say, you are just running your mouth, you cannot do that, man, I am a badder man than you, now by this time there is a gathering and each of them wants to be proven as the baddest person on the block, so the guy who first called the other guy a big mouth fool, reach over and punch the other guy in to his mouth and it started to bleed, and this guy who is bleeding from the mouth, reached into his waist band pull out a pistal and pull the trigger bam, bam, bam, and the gathering scatter and run for cover, as the guy who punch the other into his mouth fall to the ground and struggling to bread. Well, not long after that here comes the police sirene, but the gun man is gone and is trying to make his way out of town, for he knows that some one is going to tell the police what took place, but the fact that he did not punch back the brother in his mouth, but uses a gun instead to gun him down, and now we hear that he is dead, means that he is in very serious trouble. It is always much better to walk away from a contentious argumant than to stay with it, and become a victim of your own temper, or a victim of vexation of spirits and anger. We must learn and practice self control to the very best of our abilities, we must go as far as is possible without surrender. We must be able to realize, when the argument is being turned into a bitter contention, and then walk away from badness and the contest of showing the gathering, that you are more violent than the other person, that is just a foolish behavior which can get you killed or can send you to the prison for the rest of you life. So, what does it profit you, to prove to your friends or the gathering, that you are the baddest person on the corner, and then lose your life or you freedom? Think about my advice and save yourselves from being a victim of animosity, violence, vexation of spirits and anger.
