There was a very popular song in Victorian times,called ,'After the ball',written by Charles K. Harris, about a man who lost his sweetheart,and it should never have happened ,His young niece asked him why he was lonely,had he no sweetheart?,well he went on to tell her the story,of the sweetheart he had,and lost. He went to a ball where he was to meet his sweetheart,when he arrived ,he saw her being kissed by another man, well that finished the relationship,he would not listen to anything his sweetheart said,He still loved her but it was finished,years passed and she died it was then he received a letter from the man who kissed his sweetheart,it was her brother.It was king David who acted in a very hasty spirit because someone offended him,but fortunately a lady called Abigail stopped him.(1 Samuel 25) A person I know spoke in haste and lost his job,hasty words and hasty action can cause us great deal of trouble,The wise words of James comes to mind,''Be swift to hear;and slow to speak'', (James 1 19 )
' The evil of haste under a worldly
impulse is truly fearful'.
'Charles Bridges'
