The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
Proverbs 15:28 English Standard Version
Having a sharp wit is considered a desirable trait in my social circle. On my good days I have one, on my bad days I just stare vacantly and my mind conjures up ... silence.
But upon reflection, at the end of the day as I lie in bed, if I have any regrets about the words I have spoken it is nine times out of ten for those that I spoke "wittily" and not those that I thought about for a while before voicing.
