<font color="blue">To me, talking too much is a little like painting a picture.
It is frequently what we leave out that makes it the masterpiece.
We don't have to tell everything we think, nor use every color on the palette.
Subtlety makes someone else think, and that is more important.

Our tendency as humans is to think that no one understands unless we spell things out for them.
It is hard to keep our mouths shut when we want to say something so much, usually with a da li s ga na ne hi, (Cherokee)
irony or a degree of sarcasm.
Silence can be as unkind as saying too much,
but in the long run it serves a better purpose in preserving friendships.
There is a time to speak and a time to keep silence,
but it is a person of rare sensitivity who knows when the time is.
Peace.
