Martin Luther: Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.Being silent...most of us do that cos we don't want to rock the boat, disturb the equilibrium in our lives, the status quo, etc, etc. Speaking out requires courage and sometimes sacrifice, but it is necessary. This is one of the things which I keep reminding myself... speak out but do it in the manner that benefits all. But sometimes I fail cos I tend to be a bit hot-headed at times. Sigh!
That's the thot for the day for me.

For reflection: The best time to hold our tongue is when we feel we must say something. We’re unlikely to be hurt by anything we didn’t say.......
....A wise old owl sat on an oak.;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?
—EDWARD H. RICHARDS
Agreed... but there is always a time for everything.. a time to hold your tongue.. a time to voice out... for if one remains silent and silent only, one could lose everything also...
