According to this, the more a person knows the less he speaks. This has been rather an important assessment of people. It’s the people who are silent most of the time that probably no more than the people that are talking most of the time. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story Papa down the stairs, which is not what that sentence is all about. I have trouble hearing the whole sentence at times, and because of that, I can't remember how many Papa's I've thrown down the stairs. (Sorry about that, Papa.) I have noticed there doesn't seem to be a direct connection between my thoughts and my tongue. If only they could get together and stay on the same subject, I would not get into so much trouble. So, when The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage is exercising her 20,000 words per day, I can only process 7,000 of those words. So the problem I face is, which words am I going to process? I have trouble with my 7,000 words a day. I can't imagine how anybody of the opposite gender can manage 20,000 words a day every day of the week. To choose the right words, I have to listen to the words that have been coming my way. I don't always get it right. I try, and I'm getting better at it, but I still fail. While thinking about this I was reminded of a very important passage of Scripture. “27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. 28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:27-28). According to this, the more a person knows the less he speaks. This has been rather an important assessment of people. It's the people who are silent most of the time that probably no more than the people that are talking most of the time. Tweet
