The Deceitful Archer

To Err is human, but to repeat it, is surely not !! Especially when it comes to "spoken words".

We all have read, heard or experienced this, that words are like an archers arrow. Once propelled, never ebbs. So are words, once said cannot be taken back. The damage done with them, can never be repaired.

Education teaches us the meanings of words, where how when to use them. But to use them with prudence, is what we call literacy. Education gives us knowledge about our rights and responsibilities, but to know where to draw the line is literacy.

Being at a high profile designation, should make a man humble at opinion, aware of his voice, and cautious of his choice of words to voice that opinion.

"Cattle class" was humiliating, and "SA can be an interlocutor" is detrimental. Makes me wonder "Does education make a man literate?" NOT ALWAYS !!
