You have heard the saying, "It is better to be quiet and let them think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". I have pretty much lived by that creed for most of my 53 years. Anymore, I am not certain about it being an indisputable fact. What it has gotten me in life is mostly misunderstanding and misinterpretations about me. And, it has been a developmental factor in my habit of editing personal thoughts and opinions in my mind before sharing them, if at all. I have been perceived by people as reserved, aloof, withdrawn, taciturn, and the dreaded, inscrutable. There may be some truth to those perceptions, but it is not the total me.
True, it is not easy for me to share. But, I know it is important. Even if I am just sharing to no one in particular, such as what I am doing now with these blog postings.
