Hi Paul, your words are so true, it is a pity that someone doesn't read them. He should do. Wise words \Paul. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Your friend always....Mike.

Tweets have been getting people in lots of trouble. Some individuals do not consider the consequences of letting barbs fly freely. There are times when I wish Twitter and Facebook had never been launched. Well said, Paul! Love, Carolyn

You are perfectly right, Carolyn; there are consequences to pay for when words are 'uttered' flagrantly. Twitter and Facebook have their good points, but only when handled wisely! Love // paul

Very true Paul, his words are usually out of season, and often times vulgar..

Paul Callus

Thank you, Joseph. Tweeting can quite easily get out of hand; it's too spontaneous and does not always allow the mind to mull over words before spouting them out!! Regards // paul

Indeed! A 'wise' and meaningful monoku, Paul, that speaks volumes about our current state of affairs.. it is beautifully expressed as is the lovely proverb.. Warmest wishes and hugs always my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

A monoku is short, but it can speak volumes....the same as any tweet!! I tweet on twitter, but thankfully I'm not a world leader:) Thank you for contributing to the enlightenment of this one-liner, Susan. ~ Warm regards & Hugs // paul
