I'm reminded of a story I heard once. This woman went to her parish priest and confessed to being a gossip. She wanted to know what sort of penance she could do. The priest said that he would have to think it over, but in the mean time would she mind going to the market and getting a chicken for him? She agreed, of course, and went to the market, bought a chicken, and plucked it on the way back to the church. When she got there, the priest told her he had decided on her penance and instructed her to gather up all the feathers from the chicken. The woman was horrified and said that they had been scattered all over the city by then and that there was no way to get them all back! The priest told her that the her words were much the same, once thrown to the wind, they could never be gotten back either.

Unfortunately history is not kind to any of us and does not allow us to go backwards and erase anything. What you might try is thinking before you speak and maybe you can make what you said better but think before you try.

A swift blow to the head with a wooden paddle can erase memory.

Words are always forgotten, but if you write them down they can live forever..........because someone could find them years later....when you say something it doesn't last long.

Ah....once you have spoken them, they are sometimes hard to take back, aren't they? Not much you can do but hope that time heals all wounds.
