Choose Wisely

Silence speaks louder than rage

By Rohitha LankaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

When something hits you

Do you choose to be quiet... or scream?

Some people, when things don't go their way

Disappointed, unexpected, wrong

They act out, overreact

They use "anger" but not "mindfulness"

But some people choose to be quiet

Take time to reflect on themselves, and reflect on what happened

Choose to use "brain" instead of "emotion."

Emotions are flickering, up...down

Good...bad, everyone has them

The difference is who can control them better

Emotional maturity can be trained

Just stop being self-centered

And try to understand other people's perspectives

Stop being dramatic !!!!

Take time to think about where you went wrong

Stop blaming others and start to considering yourself

The loudest voice is the sound of "silence"

Smart people ... It's hard to guess what they're thinking

But stupid people.... It's very easy

Because they'll say everything they think

But can't figure out what made them go wrong

Do you want to look stupid or smart ....,

Choose!!!

    Well-wrought! However, an addendum: some folks learn to stifle their emotions by stifling their voice, just so they can look smart, but they never learn either. Some folks know how to use words to keep silence. The ways by which we can achieve the same goal are multifold, but it takes long practice and an understanding of one's own innate character and potential. Summary: it takes all kinds.
