DAILY INSPIRATION FOR STEEMIANS: BE WISE TO KNOW WHEN TO KEEP SILENT

in #inspiration7 years ago

We sometimes say things we later regret. And when sour words are spoken, it's hard to take them back due to the damage they have already caused.

King Solomon has a wise counsel for us. A very good advice for those of us who have quick impulses to speak our minds without regards of the consequences our words may result to.

A cymbal is an instrument that simply produces a clanging sound without meaning and simply a noise. However, when struck at the right time, at the right tempo and rhythm, it becomes an important part of music.

Being wise means not only choosing the right words but choosing the right time when to say these words.

"Even a fool when he holds his peace is considered wise; when he closes his lips he is esteemed a man of understanding."
Proverbs 17:28 AMPC

Very interesting verse, and so motivational. Its something to meditate about.

Let's watch our words that we might not say the foolish of things.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Thanks for the reminder. I think this is something we all need practice with.

Absolutely. Our tongue is as sharp as the two-edged sword. A little caution before we speak goes a long, long way.
