The majority of inter-personal conflicts stems from the mouth - unnecessary and uncontrolled gossiping. So many people are enjoying gossiping as a favourite pastime. Unfortunately most of these gossipers never thought of the consequences when their gossips got found out. Then we have strained relationships. Nobody likes to be gossiped about, especially when the gossipers speak as though they are the authority on the persons they gossip about.
A small and rather 'harmless' sounding gossip, when found out, could destroy decades of good relationship. It could pit parents against children, siblings against each other, good friends against each other, bosses against their employees and many others who should have been close to one another.
Think before you speak. Is it really necessary for that which you have just spoken?
Trouble spouts from the mouth? 祸从口出. Absolutely.
Silence is golden? Absolutely.
