Silence

Silence is golden but is it really?  Sure when you've had a day filled with screaming kids it is, but what about when the silence is dangerous?  When it makes you uncomfortable what do you do?  Do you just let it ride or speak up about it?  I am not an advocate of the silent treatment.  I find it silly, however, if you are going to say something you know will be damaging then silence is the better option.  Guard your mouth, mind, motives, and tongue carefully for you never know what may be related if you don't.  Once it's said it can't be taken back.

Speaking up can be appropriate but choose carefully and surrender to silence when necessary.

Word of the Day 
Silence = The absence of sound; stillness.  Refusal to speak out.
