Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, staying quiet is smarter and more valuable than speaking up. Imagine you're in a heated argument with a friend. Instead of responding with angry words, you choose to stay silent and listen. This helps to calm the situation and prevents things from getting worse. Silence can also show that you are thinking carefully before you speak, which people respect. For example, in meetings at work, if you wait and listen to everyone first, your response will be more thoughtful and effective. Knowing when to speak and when to stay quiet can lead to better decisions and relationships.
