My daughter tends to add “chas v’sholom” when making a statement like that. So she might say, “I would chas v’sholom die before I would go there,!” Personally,I think it’s better to do a little preventive medicine and follow the adage of n’tzor l’shoncha mairah, to begin with, rather than try to “fix things” later on. We are not always able to watch what comes out of our mouths, but we can try. I am also guilty of this at times, though I do try to be tactful most of the time. Naybe the answer is to mentally count to three before speaking. Anyhow, the fact that you recognize that this is a problem for you, is a good thing. You can work on it. Many people do not realize or even care that something they say can have koach one way or the other.
