“The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak”
— Baruch Spinoza

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people talk too much without thinking about what they are saying. This can lead to misunderstandings, arguments, or hurt feelings. Imagine if everyone was just as good at staying silent and listening as they are at speaking their minds. People would understand each other better and have fewer conflicts. For example, in a meeting, if everyone only speaks their opinion without listening, nothing gets done. But, if everyone listens carefully, they can work together more effectively and come up with better solutions. By learning to be quiet and listen more, people can create a more peaceful and happy environment in both their personal and professional lives.
