Light-hearted, foolish chatter about problems can often make them worse, friend. If you lack inner calm, your words are bound to reflect the presence of fears, doubts, desires, impatience or other restless forces operating within you. This can cause harm in any number of subtle ways. For example, if you constantly babble about your travel difficulties while on vacation, you may put others off, and thereby miss the rejuvenating good times and new companionship you were seeking. Plus, you may inadvertently say things which allow others to take advantage of you, particularly when you find yourself dependent on strangers for essential needs. Loose lips sink trips.
