"A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver," says the Bible Proverb 25:11.
But sometimes our apples seem to be rotten. Pretty rotten.

I wonder if you've ever told someone something you shouldn't have said. I don't know, for example, when a dear being's passed away, or when this person's lost their job, or when they're brokenhearted, etc.

What are those words which are not suitable for moments like those?
Has it ever happened to you?

In my case... Countless times, sadly. No evil intention, but I confess I have screwed it up.

It has happened to me.
One day I insisted on asking about a person who, in the end, ended up to be dead. I felt so sorry, I shoudln't have asked. But I didn't know.

Or when someone's absent from a meeting. I call them to let them know how serious their absence was, and they tell me why they didn't go... Their stories make me feel guilty, as I should not have told them off.

But nothing as sick as this:

OMG! That was way TOO much!!

It happens when you let the other person know he or she's fat and must start a diet, when in reality they have a serious illness that makes them fat, I don't know, hormones, for example.
Or when you talk about how happy you're with your couple while the other person's brokenhearted.
Or when you're talking about vacation in December and January when the other person has to continue working.

Yeah, it happens...
