My father once told me a story from centuries ago about a rich man and his servant. The rich man was receiving important guests one day and so he slaughtered a cow and told his servant cook the absolute best part of the animal for my guests. When the guests arrived and sat down for the meal, they discovered that the servant had cooked the tongue of the cow. They were disgusted and refused to eat anything. The rich man was extremely angry at the servant for producing such a meal and embarrassing him in front of the guests. Several days later once his anger subsided, out of curiousity, he asked the servant to cook the absolute worst part of the animal - for what could be stranger to eat than the tongue? The servant once again cooked the tongue and presented it to the man. He was baffled and questioned the servant: I told you to cook the best part and you cooked the tongue, and then I told you to cook the worst part and you cooked the tongue again. The servant said: truly the best part of the body is the tongue, and the the worst part of the body is the tongue, depending on how we choose to use it. Many have destroyed and blackened their hearts by what their tongues uttered. And many were spared and saved by controlling it from saying evil, and using it to spread only good. Its really up to you to decide if its the best part of you, or the worst.
