Be silent, and listen
What does it mean to wait, be silent , and listen?
Before I begin, I also be silent and think, whether this would bore you readers.....and then I continue XP
The words silent and listen are usually used in a parallel manner if you noticed. Doing these three things needs patience. There is always a time to be silent and a time to speak. One cannot listen if they are not silent. Sometimes, wisdom does not come from telling people what you know, showing them you are right, proving them wrong, later on to feel all high and mighty. Sometimes wisdom also means to be silent, hear them out, listen to all their wrongs and rights and taking it in. The right time will come to say the right words. Ever heard of..." It was the right thing to say, but wrong time to do it"? Yeah it is as you have read it.
One can cause unfavourable damage if they keep speaking but on the other hand, one can lose opportunities when they become silent at times when they are needed to be heard. Think about those moments =)
Talking more without listening gives you less time to think, in the end having the probability you would say something stupid and damaging.
Listening takes skill as well. When to listen and when not to. Listen when a person needs you to hear them out, release their emotions, is in their defense, has something important for you to hear.
I believe when one does not listen, it is a form of rebellion, thinking that you are sufficient by your own, not acknowledging that we cant do everything and we need help, a form of self deception that rationalises your conscience and esteem.
The Bible says in Job 33:33 Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom.
Peace out XD

Shut off when they person is lying, gossiping, flattering, boasting, and profaning. There is more, so learn to discern =).
