"He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise."
(Proverbs 10:18-19)
Less is more.
Over ninety percent of communication is non-verbal, yet it's interesting to note that most conflicts seem to occur over something that is said.
"An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel." (Proverbs 18:19)
The more we talk following a disagreement or difference of opinion, the deeper the hole we dig for ourselves with our loved one, friend or in some cases an enemy. Too many words may seem hypocritical, insincere or may even be perceived as an admission of guilt.
Our lives speak louder than our words.
Silence is wisdom.
Enough said.
