One great aspect of self-control is simply knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut. Stopping a thought at the door of our lips expresses this self-mastery. Just because we have the freedom to say something, does not mean that we should. It is not just that “somethings are better left unsaid,” a lot of things are. We all talk entirely too much.
“Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.” Prov.21 “Conversations Within” ts 11/21/2016
