Mute is you parachute
The mute button on the television remote seems like just another small button without much use but actually it is one of the most important buttons in the control of the television. Instant silence and peace once you press mute.
Its my birthday and my little one asks me, ” Mommy, what is the best gift I should buy for you? I will buy and give you”. I hugged him and told him, the gift I would like to have is “him”. He’s happy. I think about it.
We receive several gifts from others but what is the best gift you can give your self?The restrain of your own tongue is the biggest gift you can offer to your self. When you loose control over your speech and inadvertently blurt out whatever comes to your head the repercussions can be devastating and the price you pay is very heavy. If only at that instance you had paused and refrained from speaking there would have been a lot less burden to handle than what you already might be going through. The best gift is to restrain and refrain. Anger makes you unable to have a hold on the words that you speak. When that anger subsides you may feel back to normal but unfortunately the words spoken cannot go back like the arrows shot from a quiver.
If you fall from an airplane high up in the sky there are only two options either you open a parachute or you fall on the ground and loose your life. Sometimes in situations mute is your parachute. It’s what saves you . Its what saves relationships. It’s the best option to pick.
What’s the best away to achieve silence and peace in our lives in situations where continued arguments and confrontations do not yield any results. Where opinions differ and a consensus can’t be arrived at and the ongoing deliberations just seem to make relationships more estranged. Is it not a wise option to press the mute button. Is it not better to choose to be quite and refrain from speaking rather than going on trying to prove your righteousness. Isn’t all the noise being created worthless if it screws the love between people?
Isn’t it better to be quite rather than end things between people.
Leaving you all to ponder on these thoughts and decide for yourself what works best. To win an argument or to win a relationship? To talk with no rewards or to be quite and avoid the disruption. Ego wars can not be won by discussing because the ego will never want to bow down. But inner peace is far more crucial to achieve.
