Silence Is Gold

From our ancestors we know that to keep silence is better than to speak meaninglessly. That is why they said “silence is gold.”
In principle, we agree to that point, but in the reality, we must say what we need to say, not to keep silence without a word.
If we do not speak, nobody will know how our knowledge in our heart. Besides, if we do not speak, it is like a dog which do nothing good to human.
We must speak, not in silence, but we have to speak something in sense, useful to help the society. That is what we need to do.
But, in general situation, to keep silence may be the best way to get rid of trouble. In many things too much speaking will cause unnecessary trouble or even disaster.
As proverb says: “Disaster is from mouth sickness is also from month.” We need speak, but speak prudently.
