Dear Earthlings (and disguised Spacelings),
Sometimes when we don’t have anything to say, it is best to stay silent. Once Confucius had said, “Let the ruler be a ruler; the minister, a minister; the father, a father; the son, a son.”. Basically what he meant was if we don’t have the knowledge needed in certain things, it is wise to be an observer rather than to pretend like an expert.

Well I am not going to bash those morons who have made moronic statements about ill-fated MAS’ MH370 recently; most people have covered them nicely for me. What I am trying to say here is not everybody is entitled to give opinions on things they don’t perceive well. If it does not involve us, it is better to stay shut than making a fool out of ourselves.
Pertaining to every day’s life, being silent is the major key to a wise justification. Getting caught up in real life conflicts and to have dealt with a kind of people who were not that nice would have made us to be self-defensive and overly-vigilant in instant. Besides, it is in everyone’s nature to correct anything mistakenly judged upon us. True enough?
But dear, more we are trying to prove that we were right and they were wrong, more damages could have been done in between the process. What I have learned so far is that when people decide not to listen to us, they will never do it. It is like trying to speak up at a side of a road where everyone is honking their cars endlessly and nobody is listening.
Similar thing happened to me when people dropped by just to judge me in my own parents’ house. I constantly felt the pressure to roll my eyes out and defense myself in front of them. But no, I would not be dim-witted and do it. As The Hubster always reminds me, I don’t have to be as shallow as those people. I could do better than howling to some insensible rocks.
I have seen individuals who rang most of everyone they know just to explain how they were not guilty and how they turned into victims. While at the same time, they bad-mouthed the other party so they would get the crucial votes just to stay innocent in front of others. Well, to pull such a desperate stunt in proving their guiltless points? That was just sad for me.
Being silent does not mean we are frail and useless. It sure seems like we gave in and let those people won over us but the truth is, we won by being wisdom. So what if people mistakenly judged upon us? Someday they would eventually learn the truth whether they like it or not. As for now, let times do the justice for the whole picture. Always stay in faith.
Being silent is astuteness, people!
