Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man of understanding remains silent.
Proverbs 11:12 ESV
We all do it. Each of us has at some time or another cut someone down with words. We hid it behind a joke and with a smile but none the less we belittle another. Our spouse, kids, and friends are not immune.
Why? Usually, because we hold some twisted belief that in cutting someone else down we elevate ourselves.
Foolish! By belittling others we reveal our on lack of sense.
