Why is it important NOT to have your say?

OUR OPINION - undoubtedly one of the most basic rights on the statute books ever since the first laws were passed by the competent bodies to protect the most disadvantaged and disadvantaged of people. 

At the same time, it is a right that we have been trying to hold on to for as long as man has been on this earth, hasn't it? The nice thing is that we also have the RIGHT to express our opinion, and even in modern democracies this is regulated by law.But have we thought for a moment about how much blood has been shed to make the right to one's own opinion part of some countries' constitutions today? Not to mention, almost unnecessarily, how many tears have been shed, how bitterly and unjustly people have suffered because of the simple fact that they expressed an opinion.

Apart from being recognized as a right and therefore regulated by law, the fact of expressing one's opinion on a certain thing or situation seems to ennoble man, to recognize his true status as a human being, in control of the way he conducts his life, from his own areas of interest and socialization with other people, to the fact of having a certain influence, preferably beneficial, in the affairs of the society in which he lives, and which concern him personally. That is, in short, to limit himself as far as possible to doing good for those who deserve it, and making a difference on Earth. And this is commendable, especially when it is intended to benefit many people. But have you ever wondered why most wise people prefer on some occasions not to speak their point of view, sometimes not even to their teachers?

Why do some wise people rather choose to leave the impression as if they are not concerned about certain topics of interest to the common man,such as certain events and situations,dramatic or not,sometimes even beneficial,which are virally reported in the news and present for days in the media? Why is it that most smart people do not seek to put their point of view in the open? 

Why is it that so many right-thinking people refuse to set up social media accounts and use them for anything other than, perhaps, their own benefit? 

What would be some of the advantages of refraining from expressing our point of view when discussing matters of public and personal interest, even though a clear and logical expression would be in our favor? 

1) Avoid unnecessary conversations that can fuel conflict. Although there is no point in fearing conflict or avoiding it at all costs, a wise man does not go where the pot is not boiling.

2) It's wiser,instead of paying lip service all day long about what concerns me and what doesn't,to simply start practicing what is healthy and good of what concerns me,and to inform myself about the things that concern me,in order to make lucid,informed decisions. Of course, an online opinion poll also gives even wise people the opportunity to express their point of view in a way that is effective, taken into account on that platform, and possibly useful to others.

3) When we are not asked, there is no point in expressing an opinion.

4) When we want to do it to stand out. The smart man prefers to cultivate his self-esteem by proving what he is by his deeds, instead of uselessly and even foolishly boasting with words and personal opinions. 

The wise man realizes from his own experience, among other things, that his thoughts and opinions cannot even reflect the absolute truth.

5) The smart man doesn't even think of closing in on himself!

On the contrary, he sees such a self-conceit as something pointless, downright stupid.

Instead, the clever man creates and has his own interest groups, made up of people who understand and accept each other, understand and accept different points of view, and create something useful for themselves and their fellow men by participating in such a group.

The smart man does not shy away from expressing his point of view, 

On the contrary, he expresses it in a way and in an environment that supports it to bear fruit.

The wise man always follows what is useful, and applies it tactfully in his own life, so that he may enjoy the benefits, and have something to talk about where and when it is useful. The man of discernment does not concern himself with things over which he has no influence.. For example, the pure and simple smart man is not interested in what a certain politician, a particular star or a person with influence, or authority in the world does or deals with.. The intelligent man is concerned dearly, with all his endeavor and to a large extent with the things, persons and possibilities that concern him personally, his family and interests, without looking with hatred,enmity or distaste some things that are outside of its sphere of interest, but has learned to live and enjoy life without giving them more importance than they deserve.

To speak and to be silent are not only gifts offered to man to enjoy in peace and quiet healthy associations with his fellows, but also tools that can strengthen or hurt.

Let us never use them as weapons!
