I was reading my bible yesterday and came across this verse...
18 Like a madman shooting
firebrands or deadly arrows
19 is a man who deceives his neighbor
and says, "I was only joking!"
Wow! I was pretty astonished, and surprised. It says it so clear, no doubt about it. Are we doing something wrong when we lie and then say " I was just joking, chill out."? Well, according to this verse, you are a deceiver, ouch! So what do you think this means? Why is it that we lie, our friends get mad, and to cover up for it we say, " I was just kidding...gosh, you're overreacting." I believe that there are certain people whom you can joke with, but whenever that person gets hurt, or simply mad, and then we cover it up with a "i was just kidding"; well, i don't think it should be that way. I thought this was pretty interesting....message me if you'd like to discuss it.

theres always plenty to discuss on this matter. it goes deeper than one thinks. and since we do it almost all the time, it should be something we should all reflect on ofcourse. ive come to understand two things of those who say this. one, that person was actually joking, or two that person did not please the other and so as u said covers it up to be accepted once more, or comes back with that "line" to please the other. eh it keeps on going and such...
ps. if im not making sense its cause i just woke up...lol...
