there are really times when i want to open my mouth and speak my mind about something to someone, or to just anybody who would listen. but through the years, and through many experiences, i have learned that there are times when it is better to keep our mouths shut. that is to better listen and be careful what we speak. and oftentimes, when we do that, wisdom will tell us that there are some things that are better left unsaid. that are better kept with us for as long as we live. are there times when you feel like this? please do share your experiences. God bless you everyone! take care all! have a happy weekend!

Good point here! Some say we must let our feelings out always, but I guess they're wrong, though not completely. Sometimes, being frank can be good, but most of the time, not so good. When speaking, we must also think of the effects it might cause to the people around or even to those who are related to the words you'll be saying. Listening is one skill that is not that easy to learn. Words can destroy someone, but listening won't. But also take note that completely not letting out your emotions could burst you inside. So my final say, keep both in balance. And if you can't, then just know yourself on which two would you be better off.
