I am mature enough not to react

name one universal truth

I am proud of my ability to remain silent when it would be easy enough to show somebody else up for how immature they are..

The reason I can remain silent is because I understand that nothing I say to them will help them to improve their outlook on life, and I’ve no desire to be responsible for them feeling even more negative about themselves than they already are.

People who are at war with the world are really having an internal battle with themselves that the world gets dragged into.

People will find the truth someday, or they will not, but that’s not something you can help them with. However, you can’t underestimate the importance of planting a seed.

The seed I plant is the seed of silence, when they realise not everybody is going to be drawn into their battle, they may begin to understand who their battle is really with.

Maturity is the ability to remain silent when people and situations would elicit a different response.” ~Anon
