DavidMc Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 First I thought that was a very very wise thing for a six year-old to say. But then I re-examined the content and concluded what most often looks like the years a person was alive were more likely years in office. (Yet, then again, perhaps politicians only think they are alive If they are in office <grin>) David On-The-Road with a Purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I know of instances where that may not be true. If you suspect child abuse but don't report it then regret not speaking up. If you see your neighbor having trouble walking towards his car but don't suggest he call a taxi instead and he causes an accident. If your friend decides to dive into a pond without checking the depth first and you don't try to talk him out of it and he becomes a paraplegic. It's not really hard to come up with examples of times when speaking up would be the better things to do. Fortunately, most of us are not faced with such situations on a regular basis but it is something you sort of have to decide in advance what you will do if a situation arises that calls for speaking up because the time you spend thinking about it might make it too late.

sandsys Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Reminds me of one of Lincoln's most famous quotes: "It's better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt." I've done the latter a few times.

"Few are the places on Earth where you can peer straight into its soul" "It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters." "Travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of wondering how things may be, we get to see them as they really are." The Simpsons Fulltimers from Va.
