Today I learnt..

Its usually hard to pin point clarity. I think I did just now.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

I am not yet a wise man, I'm still learning. Yet today I spoke to another, the intent to help, but they were not of a mind to heed advice, and spoke ill of me.

And I thought. What an Ass. Why would he take my words in a negative manner.

I sought to placate him with words of the same meaning, but different views, so he might understand that I was not his enemy.

But, It was the internet.

And I thought.. maybe wise men don't speak, because they understand that fools with rebuke their words, and cause them harm, verbal or otherwise. Maybe in ancient times, Wise men were the ones who learned quickly to keep silent, lest the foolish king rain down blows upon them.

Yet, in today's world, there is not a backlash so harsh to keep fools quiet, so instead the bleat upon the world, drowning out anything of consequence.

I thought I would be a great orator, I look out to see what great orators exist, and they do not. The last that I can tell is Carlin, he's passed now, also, he was a Comedian.

So, Maybe that is the path to Oration. I just need to learn some jokes.

Yet, remaining silent? Its just not me.
