Every word we utter creates an impact in ways that we know and in ways that we don't know. During the Second World War, in order to boost the morale of the free world, BBC would often begin the top of the hour news broadcast with live chimes of the Big Ben so that people in the free world and in Britain would be inspired by the vision of freedom. They ran into a very serious obstacle nobody expected. Brilliant physicists and scientists in Nazi Germany used these broadcasts to be able to determine what was the climate in London which would help them enhance the precision and accuracy and timing of them bombing London to inflict maximum damage. Which is why in Judaism we are so careful not only with what comes into our mouth but what goes out of our mouth. The verse in Psalm says God open my lips and let my mouth utter your praise. Allow my mouth to be a conduit and a channel for your infinite love and wisdom.
