And I think that just directs us back to the point that

should be looking to cultivate like edifying speech because yeah there's such dignity to our faculty of speech and we can use it in such beautiful ways you know like the book ends with with sections on humor you know like humorous it's delightful you can point out incongruities you can help kind of people navigate the tensions of their life um correction we can encourage people in living a good life by just pointing out whatever this that and the other not good um preaching and teaching prayer obviously that's how the book ends but

Yeah, I just think that often enough when we direct our gaze back to verbal virtue or the actual trajectory for which our speech is intended, it helps clarify.
