Because Your Words Can Reign Over You (post by Kirk Weisler)

To know how to say what others only know how to think is what makes men poets or sages; and to dare to say what others only dare to think is what makes men martyrs or reformers — or both. — Elizabeth Charles (1828-96) British Writer

If you are not sure what to say – or cannot think of a kind or thoughtful way to express yourself….then remaining silent is the course of wisdom.  (Especially when in a difficult or frustrating situation).

There are certainly times when I wish I had said something.  But there are “WAY MORE” times when I wish I had remained silent and said nothing.   I would rather reign over and rule my words than be ruled by them or spend valuable time and personal currency trying to reign them back in.
