Words like Angelina Jolie's hair- sweet like unto heaven.

Something I would like to work on is being more kind in word.

Lately I have found myself saying unkind things about others, like saying some guys are douche bags or ugly, etc. When I say mean things they seem to roll right off of my tongue like slime, and I move on as though nothing terrible was just said.

I've also noticed that when others say harsh things about people, it really hurts me and offends my spirit. So why then is it okay for me to say mean things? I defend and assume the best and most innocent in some, but in one turn I assume the worst of others.

There's obviously a disconnect in my mind between what I say and what I hear. Why is it so offensive to hear some vulgarity, but so easy to produce it myself? Why is it okay for me to say assuming, rude, crass, or otherwise terrible things about others, but when other people say the same it is suddenly so wrong?

I need to work on it. I want my words to flow out like sweet and kind mists- or something nice like that. I don't want others to think of me in the way I see them when they say unkind things. More importantly, I don't want to offended someone else's spirit with my unkind verbal muck. I want to be kind in word and deed. I want to lift and spread good!

I think that the more I guard my tongue, the more my heart and thoughts will change. Maybe if I don't say mean things out loud, my mind will stop feeling the need to produce them in the first place.

Tips? Who's with me?!
