As he maligned Southerners and told all of us, most 18 years old, how bad we in the South were, I spoke up and we had a civil argument. Not one person spoke up. The prof was rewriting the Vietnam war. I figured all the kids would hate me as they all silently left class. The next day, almost 30 people spoke to me, telling me they had talked to their parents or grandparents who said I was exactly right.

I thin...I agree with your point and your sentiment. I think that action is often more important than words however. Silence isn't necessarily a bad thing...however, inaction in the face of injustice, is unacceptable. So, yes, we do have to have a voice but we must, more importantly, cultivate a mind and a heart that speak louder than words ever can. Excellent post.

I have always been one to say what I believe. Yes, it has often gotten me in the opposite direction of the crowd, but it's the only way I know to be. Your thoughts here are unique and special. Silence can be productive too; we just have to know when to speak and when not to. That is sometimes hard, isn't it?

It's based on knowing that it's useless to voice my opinion because it's never taken seriously - this has to do mostly with village stuff and politics. What's the point? It gets too frustrating to be discarded so I'd rather just keep my opinions to myself and not feel any negativity, that way I'm much happier, knowing that my opinion really makes no difference anyhow. I just live my life the way I want and it works very well for me!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901846102742626587.post-91058488135753404592017-07-03T15:31:09.376+01:002017-07-03T15:31:09.376+01:00Sometimes it better to be silent, than to potentia...Sometimes it better to be silent, than to potentially offend others.
