SILENCE IS ESSENTIAL

Don't speak if you have nothing good to say 

Silence has its own power which can change you forever.

It is difficult to silence a person especially if he has a lot to say or he is used to telling stories and talking and talking.

It is good that we speak especially when necessary. It is said that if you do not want the wrong to continue you should rebuke the perpetrator rather than remain silent. In the right way and at the right time.

There is a time to speak and there is also a time to be silent.

When the sea is calm you expect it to be deep. It’s like when the person is always quiet you expect him to be smart.

It is better not to say anything if you will utter unkind words.

When should we be silent?

Be quiet in the heat of anger -Do not speak when you are overwhelmed and angry because all the bad words you can utter. When we are angry we cannot control our feelings or emotions so when our feelings are hurt we can shout and say everything we want to say. But we do not say it in the right way but with a mixture of revenge and ridicule on the person who hurt us. It will be even worse if it reaches the point where we curse the person we have quarreled with. So it is very important to keep quiet when we are angry so that our conflict does not get worse or worse. Stay silent, stay calm.

Keep quiet if you don't know the whole truth - when we are jealous we are often quick to make a decision so even if we don't know the whole truth yet others are ruined because of us. We can slow down and find out the truth before we speak a word against others. When we lose trust in someone we are quick to judge him and reprimand him for things that bring him more harm even though not everything we say is right. 

Shut up if you haven't proven the story yet - let's not be happy like slanders . Before we share the story of others let's first find out the real story about them. As possible let's not talk to other people especially if they have nothing to do with what you are talking about. Such activities can lead to affront others.

Be silent if your words hurt a weaker person-be careful and let us not abuse our power against others especially those entrusted to us. The position is civil without the right relationship. We hold our children accountable as parents, teachers to their students, leaders or any organization appointed to their employees in any of their circumstances or situations.

Be quiet when it's time to listen - We can't properly respond to others if we don't know how to lislen well. We cannot understand them if we don't want to. Listening is the very first way to wisdom and learning. We cannot fully value something if we do not understand it more. It is so good to listen so that we can examine carefully what is being said to us.

Keep quiet if you are tempted to do light holy things - let's not make fun of the things that are for God or the holy things. First it is in his second commandment “do not take the name of God in vain. Let us be as careful as possible when we talk about sacred things.

Keep quiet if you are tempted to joke about sin. while we are young we should avoid talking about immorality. All we know is this is just a joke. It has a profound effect on our attitude or behavior. Moreover we lose respect from other people especially women. Let us remember that our mother is also a woman and we also have a sister whom we should respect. Let's avoid stories that can harm us.

Keep quiet if you will be ashamed you will be ashamed because of your words. Obviously. If we are fighting for disaster, let us be careful of everything we say and above all, let us learn to be silent when we have nothing to say well.

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools. Ecclesiastes 9:17
