One implication of the fact that love edifies is manifest in our use of words to communicate knowledge.

Knowledge, of the sort that puffs up, is shared with the goal of aggrandizing ourselves and asserting our superiority over ideas and people.

Love, when shared in words and deeds, is for the good of others.

We weigh what we say to determine the potential benefit and share on that basis.

When there is no benefit, it may be that silence is the order of the day.
