When to Shut Your Mouth

Communicating. Everyone does it, even animals. We communicate because we believe that no man is an island. A man cannot possibly live a healthy life without talking or communicating with another human being.

We talk about all sorts of things with our fellow humans. We talk about the weather, sports, our spouses, and even serious matters like politics and religions.

Yes. we all talk about these sort of things to our companions. But communicating, like everything else in the world, has its limits.

For instance, we don't talk about taboo subjects like sex in public. it's just not appropriate. And we also have to respect the confidentiality of others when they confide in us.

Let us not breathe a word of what they said to others. it's just not right.

And on the internet, when you know you're right, speak up! defend what's correct. Let them learn. And if you're wrong, or have no idea what the hell is going on, shut up. No one wants to hear your half-ass opinion.

I have to learn to keep my mouth shut too. It's not cool to keep talking after everyone else has stopped listening. You'll look like a big jackass. 

But hey, that's just my opinion.
