A Gentle Answer Turns Away Wrath

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, But the mouth of fools gush out folly. 3 The LORD's eyes are everywhere, Keeping watch on the evil and the good. 4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, But deceit in it crushes the spirit. 5 A fool despises his father's correction, But he who heeds reproof shows prudence. 6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, But the income of the wicked brings trouble. 7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; Not so with the heart of fools. 8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But he loves him who follows after righteousness. 10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: Whoever hates reproof shall die. 11 She'ol and Avaddon are before the LORD -- How much more then the hearts of the children of men!

12 A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; He will not go to the wise. 13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face; But an aching heart breaks the spirit. 14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouths of fools feed on folly. 15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, But one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. 16 Better is little, with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a fattened calf with hatred. 18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, But one who is slow to anger appeases strife. 19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, But the path of the upright is a highway. 20 A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother. 21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, But a man of understanding keeps his way straight. 22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail; But in a multitude of counselors they are established. 23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time! 24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, To keep him from going downward to She'ol.

25 The LORD will uproot the house of the proud, But he will keep the widow's borders intact. 26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, But the thoughts of the pure are pleasing. 27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, But he who hates bribes will live. 28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers, But the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil. 29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones. 31 The ear that listens to the reproof lives, And will be at home among the wise. 32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, But he who listens to reproof gets understanding. 33 The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom.

The Art of Discretion: Mastering the Fine Line Between Tact and Truth

Discretion is the art of being subtle, tactful, and sensitive to the privacy of others. It is an important quality in many aspects of life, including personal relationships, professional situations, and social interactions. Here are some tips for mastering the art of discretion:

1 .Listen More Than You Speak: One of the key aspects of discretion is knowing when to speak and when to stay silent. Listen carefully to what others are saying and gauge the level of sensitivity around the topic. Avoid sharing confidential or sensitive information with others unless it is absolutely necessary.

2. Be Respectful of Others' Privacy: Respecting the privacy of others is essential to mastering discretion. Avoid gossiping or sharing personal information about others, even if it may seem harmless. Keep information confidential unless you have explicit permission to share it.

3. Use Discretion When Posting on Social Media: Social media can be a breeding ground for oversharing and lack of discretion. Be mindful of the information you share on social media and how others may perceive it. Consider the potential consequences of sharing information before you post.

4 .Know  When to Speak Up: Discretion is not always about staying silent. Sometimes, it is important to speak up in situations where someone's safety or wellbeing is at risk. Use your judgment to determine when it is appropriate to speak up and when it is best to stay quiet.

5. Practice Empathy and Understanding: Practicing empathy and understanding is key to mastering the art of discretion. Try to see things from other people's perspectives and understand how your actions and words may affect them. Be sensitive to their feelings and experiences.

In summary, mastering the art of discretion requires a combination of active listening, respect for others' privacy, thoughtful social media use, knowing when to speak up, and practicing empathy and understanding. By focusing on these qualities, you can become a more discreet and thoughtful individual in all aspects of your life.

I always thought that "discretion is the better part of valour" meant that you keep quiet about the people you save/help/keep their secrets. Turns out it means that you can run away and that's much less cool.

It's been a week of not actively posting anything within the insta-bubble and it feels good. Feels even better to have deleted the app on my phone and not logging in via my computer anymore. It feels like coming out of the bubble in so many ways. As I am going through a breakup for several months now , this process is present at the same time and takes a lot of space in my head, my heart, my life. By cutting my ig-consumption I feel less distracted and more confronted with my heartbreak and the my healing process, which feels necessary and right (as painful as it may be..). I think using too much Social Media and getting that artificial and redundant dopamin-hit on a daily basis can be very addictive on the one hand and harmful for my mental and physical health on the other. Don't get me wrong, I am connected to many beautiful souls on IG who I know in person or (if not) inspire me so much through their art, lifestyle, mindset etc. But taking conscious breaks from this bubble actually calms me down and many of exactly these people (not only them tho!) have deeply inspired me to do so! Tumblr is like my life diary to which I can always return (and do so), where can write down my most personal thoughts. Here, i can express my most intuitive and creative way of being and it is mostly focussed on writing, my deepest passion. There is even no such possibility on IG in general (only to a certain extent). Happy Full Moon btw Loves <3! This Full Moon in Scorpio feels very intense (Full Moons in general+ Scorpio- the most intuitive, passionate sign imo) and this intensity is exactly what requires me to slow down in discretion (means no oversharing or over-consumption of social media) and write on paper. To care for myself. To speak to my actual friends who care (not only social-media contacts). This Full Moon is showing me my open wounds for several days already and I can feel its intensity deeply. it also shows me my passions and desires, my creativity , intuition and inspirations. My pain and my beauty. My privacy and my personal, safe and innate space in my heartcenter. My gratitude and what's really important in my life atm.

Wishing you all a gentle transition into this Full Moon Cycle. A blessed and healing space, where the Moon is showing us the ebbs and flows of our hearts and our souls.

Blessed Be.
