We Need Zippers
Posted by Tomi O on Thursday, April 07, 2011 with 5 comments
Everything we read on paper or hear (quotes i mean) are just mere words till you feel it or till it talks to you.
I've been hearing 'Talk less, Sin less' even the bible says
"Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." (Proverbs 17:28).
"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." (Proverbs 10:19).
Really i never had the courage to Purposely talk less, ok i'm a talkative so what? So lately i've been awfully quiet, blame it on the red robots approach + i cheated in my daily devotional (I read ahead randomly) hehehe
Saw something about talking less and it even encouraged my 'quest'
My Observation during the Silent dayS
- Obviously i talked less.
- Gossiped less too.
- Read more books honestly not my school book :|
- Did alot of future thinking/planning.
- Sinned lesseR than a normal day.
- No yabbing nobody
- Only meaningful/VERY necessary conversations would be directed to you (dz part i loved)
That being said, yesterday i snapped, smiled, laughed, talked, gossiped, yabbed, shouted, bent the truth, no reading, listened to fake + original gist...
So you might say 'Maybe you are not talking to the right people' well i'm a realist so lets not decieve ourselves ok?
I try my best to hold the 'right' conversations but one gist would sha come up and ruin that right and it is replaced with a 'wrong' (I blame the devil for this one) Then again i say to myself 'Maybe you are having the right conversations with the wrong people' hmmm.... Now that makes alot of sense!
I was quiet for just 2days i think, and its was bitter-sweet, bitter because everyone treated me like i just caught some contagious disease that is caught by laughing or talking to me, it was sweet because as much as i love talking, i love my space too, i enjoyed the fact that i was asked VERY VERY necessary questions, and i wasnt called for the regular 'room gist' altho' i love the feeling when one of my friends comes and says 'Tomi latest gist' and when i hear d headline i have that smile and say 'Stale gist and even dish out the FULL story'
But you know everyone has to retire at some point right? Or not?
I think i'm finally growing up hehehe i would start working ke? Dont let them tag me office talkative abi? Wow 21 is gonna be the best age ever(i can forsee) But seriously talking less is a good experience? Right?
We totally NEED zippers!
