The world teaches us that if we do not know how to reply aptly to those who may offend, criticize, or humiliate us, we will be regarded as weak or a fool. However, giving cutting remarks is not Christ's way. We really need not bother about what others may consider us as long as we are right before God.
May we take a look at what the book of Proverbs says in this regard,
Proverbs 12:18 (New Living Translation)
Some people make cutting remarks,
but the words of the wise bring healing.
As wise kids of God, our words should never offend others or be sarcastic. It should only bring healing to those who hears us speak. When we are offended, cornered, or humiliated we can either respond gently giving a reasonable explanation or remain silent as Jesus did. If we speak appropriately, none will regard us as fools or weak just because our communication display meekness.
