Better Left Unsaid

Some things are better left unsaid. It's a cliché, I know, but it's true.
I believe in clichés. They normally become cliché because the truths in them warrant repeating. But I whole heartedly believe that some things are better left unsaid.

Now typically I am a "point the elephant out in the room” kind of guy but I realize that there are times when you need to not say, talk about, or ask some things, because they are better left unsaid.

My new years resolution was one that required more honest open communication, no holding back what I want to say. But I have realized that can get you in a whole lot of trouble. And you can wind up taking a thought out of the oven of your mind before it is done.

And I think that some situations are like the old folks would say about playing cards being dealt, you don't pick them up too early because "the cards can change." You see if you pick your cards up while they are being dealt, you see each one and what you perceive as reality cannot change. I believe in that. And that's why I think some things are better left unsaid.

I believe that sometimes the most honest communication is in a look, body language, a facial expression, what you do, what you don't do, and in attitudes and these sometimes speak more truth than our words do.

And so... some things, my friend, are better left unsaid.
