another thought struck me.
a simple reminder.
as believers, we know we have the freedom in many aspects.
such as the freedom of speech.
but if that freedom of speech causes people to fall away, or to be stumbled, or to be hurt, then it would probably be more cautious not to exercise it.
i was quite tempted to grumble about a particular situation in my life which has been bothering me (just that silently and in the background) for a short period of time.
which i have the right to grumble in.
but might not be beneficial or helpful, and it's just senseless griping,
so yes, self control.
hahaha.
