Be silent or say something that is better than silence. Aphorisms and quotes about silence
There lived a man in the world. He had three dreams: to have a well-paid job, to marry a beauty and ... become famous all over the world.
Once, in a frosty winter, a Man was in a hurry for an interview at the office of a well-known company. Suddenly, right in front of him fell Old man. The man looked at the fallen man, the thought arose in his head that he was most likely drunk and did not give his hand. This helped not to be late for the scheduled meeting. The interview was unsuccessful: The person was not hired for the desired position.
Once a Man was walking in the city on a summer evening. Noticing a troupe of street performers, he stopped to enjoy the spectacle. The audience was small, but the play was fun and exciting. After the end of the action, applause broke out, and people began to disperse. Our Man also turned back, but someone timidly touched his shoulder. It was main character plays, old clowness. She began to ask him about whether he liked the performance, whether he was satisfied with the actors. But the Man did not want to carry on a conversation and, turning away in disgust, went home.
One rainy evening The Man was hurrying home from a friend's birthday party. He was very tired, and thoughts of a fragrant bath and a cozy, warm bed rushed through his head. Suddenly, he heard a muffled sob. It was a woman crying. She was sitting on a bench near the Man's house. Without an umbrella. One. Noticing our hero, she turned to him for help. She had a tragedy in her family. And all she needed was a spiritual interlocutor. The man thought, a bath and a bed appeared before his eyes, and hurried to the entrance.
The man lived an unhappy life. And died.
Once in Heaven, Man met his Friend, Guardian Angel. They swung on the heavenly swing and talked.
You know, I lived a very miserable and useless life. I had three dreams, but nothing came true. It's a pity…
Hmm ... My friend, I did everything to make all your dreams come true, but for this I only needed from you: your hand, your eyes and your heart.
My God, so what?
Remember the fallen man on the slippery winter road? I will now show you this picture ... That man was CEO the company that you so wanted to get into. An exciting career awaits you. All you need is your hand.
Do you remember the old clowness who pestered you with questions after a street performance? It was a young beauty actress who fell in love with you at first sight. A happy future awaited you, children, undying love. All you need is your eyes.
Do you remember the crying woman near your entrance? It was a rainy evening, and she was soaked through with tears ... She was a famous writer. She was going through a family crisis, and she really needed spiritual support. If you had helped her to warm up in her apartment, to warm her Soul thanks to your wise words of consolation, then she would have written a book in which she would have told about this case. The book would become famous all over the world, and you would become famous, because on the main page the author would indicate the name of the one who became the muse of this work. And all that was required of you then was your heart. You were inattentive, my friend.
The man sighed... And they went along the lunar path into the starry distance...
And what does this world offer you now? Remember: Happiness has the face of a Riddle...

What happened to me while reading these lines can be described by the exact term, called "Spanish shame." Ksyusha said, but I was ashamed of the words.

They told some poems at school and read some authors, but the conclusions seem to have produced different ones.
Many will say that you are not equal to her, no one knows you, and she is a large figure. But speaking about history and about our country, we are on the same page, where everyone is equal and everyone is identical to another. It doesn't make sense to have capital or what brand of car you have. Much more significant is what you say, especially when you are a public person. Knowing that, your words will be heard by millions of citizens just like you. Your duty is to approach your words with great responsibility and consider every word you say.
