Shut Up is the Best Option!

Good morning and greetings from me.

I'm not too sure why am I writing now. Perhaps I'm convinced that I need to be there to lend a hand to my poor friend who got humiliated by some/a responsible people. I regretted over this matter because I couldn't understand why a human who went to school for the past twenty years could do this to a FRIEND.

Like what my friend, always said,'If you cannot say something good, please shut up!' There is a very good lesson in such a sentence. Shutting up your mouth doesn't mean that your liberty in speech has been violated but if you claim to be free to comment or utter anything you wish, shouldn't you have a slight consideration in you that, while you're doing what you desired, you're actually, at the same time, in that moment, violating the freedom of the other person whom you're commenting and criticizing?

Luring for attention by criticizing others are cheap publicity and should such unbecoming act be condoned, I can really see what is going to happen to our next generations. Therefore, claiming for freedom but violating others at the same time is a very selfish act. This is a universal truth or should we say a fact of life. So, think about it.

Another point to be pondered here, if you think keeping your mouth shut is a very pathetic act or weak, try to think in this way. You're not pathetic or weak but you're helping yourself from committing a sin which eventually will lead you to hell. You can say all sort of nonsensical things in support of your claims but the readers have the hearts to feel, eyes to read, and most importantly, wisdom to interpret.

So, mutual understanding is very essential in cultivating a friendship and please do not violate this because you'll never know when your day will come. Do everyone a favour here, ponder through the following quotes specially for you :

If A is success in life, then A equals to x plus y plus z. Work is x, y is play, and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Albert Einstein, Observer, Jan. 15, 1950

Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are and doing things as they ought to be done.
