The power of keeping silent

There is a lot to be said about the power of keeping silent in certain situations. Though some occasions are called for a vocal response, many situations in which we are used to being vocal are truly matters in which it would be best served for a person to just remain silent. This is an old piece of wisdom that has changed and saved the lives of many. 
Some of the most foolish people are some of the most vocal people because they have no filter for their thoughts. Most of the wisest teachers earned their wisdom by answering the right questions, and they know for others to achieve this level of wisdom that they can only help this person to do the same to truly reach them. Commit to helping people as much as you possibly can, and ask yourself if you are doing so in each situation that arises with some sort of conflict.
