The sixteenth of January

If you calmly observe, you will more clearly see situations for what they really are*

Yes; I think I'll agree with that. If you're too busy talking or participating, then you might miss out on seeing the whole situation. Of course, you'll probably want to participate in at least one or two things during your lifetime, and doing so will probably help you to know what to look for next time you're observing. However, when you really want to figure out a situation accurately, then observe first, and after that, maybe say your bit.

There is more hope for a fool
than for someone who speaks without thinking.—Proverbs 29:20 (NLT)
Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.—Proverbs 17:28 (NLT)

Yep, a fair call from Brahma Kumaris today. It's a bit too sensible to say much about really.
