silence
" silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted"
dont you love that?
how many times have i said something,,when silence would have been the better thing to do? the past year i have actually begun to practice the art of silence. and you know waht. it irritates people who want to argue with me,,becuase i wont participate in the silly childish game of who can make the other feel worse. its amazing how being silent and just sitting there feels. its calmin.
silence is also a way to learn and become wise. instead of arguing and hurrying tog et my 2 cnets in,,i sit and listen,,and to my suprise,,sometimnes i learn stuff. im trying to get my children to learn this at the ages of 16 and 11 instead of age 40 like i did. of course they dont ant to "listen".
so many times in my life i have spoken so fast. things came out, i hurt people. my mouth works so much faster than my mind. its like i comes and then im like,,whoops,,did i say that out loud.
silence,,,try it. its amazing what you hear
