Many times we open our mouths to say things that we later regret in life.

Many time we wished we didn't utter a word.

Many relations should have been saved if only we kept silent in the heat of the moment.

Many are judged by their words, no wonder you are always adviced to keep SILENT, cos whatever you say will be used against you.

I found this somewhere and it made me think,
