Before I go and run my mouth about something that may cause a fight, despite the fact that I can and have the right to, I ask myself three questions to help me be a functioning socially respectful adult.
Does this NEED to be said?
Does this need to be said by ME?
Does this need to be said by me right NOW?
If I answer any of those with "no" and I'm being honest with myself, I keep my mouth shut.
Sometimes part of growing up is being respectful and keeping your mouth closed, even though you have the right to open it. Maybe there would be less fights all over the world if everyone just shut up and did their best to respect one another.
