One offensive word is enough to leave a permanent scar that may become a seed for revenge.

It is so easy to allow your emotions to get involved during a conversation and to permit yourself to vent your anger or frustrations through your words. While this feels really good at the time, later it can come back to cause you many problems. It is just not worth the risk or the stress of wondering if what you said will be used against you in some way. When you resist the urge to spout off and express your opinion, you are guaranteed not to have to deal with any adverse consequences of your speech at a later time.
“Your friend has a friend, and your friend’s friend has a friend; be discreet.”
Even if you are speaking to someone who you consider close, it is wise to watch what you say because it may be repeated or used against you somewhere down the road, when your relationship may not be as close.

“A person should be careful never to tell tales of oneself to one own disadvantage; people may be amused, and laugh at the time, but they will be remembered, and brought up against oneself upon some subsequent occasion."
Relationships change, just like everything else in this world. Someone you may be on friendly terms with today may change her feelings towards you in the future and use things you have disclosed to her against you. 
It is the safest policy not to disclose personal information which can be used against you and to carefully watch what you say. 
Don’t allow yourself to get carried away during any conversation.

Namaste
Love light and peace
