It all depends on the situation, my friend. Sometimes, you need to speak on behalf of people to give them direction. Many people are confused, and they speak and speak, trying to express themselves, but in reality, they are seeking immediate help for direction. Silence can be good, but sometimes one has to speak up. That's the beauty of aging and life experience. Wisdom doesn't come from silence. It comes from knowing when to speak and when to listen, and what words to say when someone decides to open their mouth and talk. A wonderful piece, as usual.
