flesh secretly seeks revenge and false balance, and the mouth moves merrily along. 
The sting is felt by both the listener and the talker, but usually neither realizes what is

others.  Usually there is an agenda, and that is to weigh your opinion and attitude
against the other party.
     Satan is lurking.

     Talk clean.
      Listen clean.
      Live clean.
