Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads
slander is a fool.
More
info on how we can play the fool, a role I’m not interested in having!
Notice
some of the words in this verse such as “conceals,” “hatred,” “lying lips,” and
“spreads slander.”
Those
words are connected with relationships.
When we hate others, yet lie to their faces and pretend to be their
friend, then talk about them badly when they’re gone – we’re a fool.
I’m
pretty sure this describes middle school behavior at its worst. Girls get together in a huddle and the hatred
flies because another girl thinks she’s “all that” which only makes the group
hate her more. Then the girl walks up,
swings her head as her hair flies to the other side, and the group chatters to
her as if they’re her best friend. As she
walks on down the hall, the girls giggle and find every reason to tear her
down.
Have
you seen that happen?
As
adults, that type of behavior needs to stop.
But sadly, for some, it does not.
