A Simple Sentence

What do I have to say?

That’s a simple sentence that anyone and everyone should asks themselves deep down before they open their mouths. If you don’t have anything to say, please, keep it closed. The world is already full of pointless droning and keening. We don’t need any more.

That aside, this is a Very Important Question. You should answer it with honesty and diligence. If you do have something to say, then comes the next step–is it worth saying, or better, how does it affect the world around you if said? Sometimes you will have something to say and it is best not to say anything at all. It’s a matter of priority–what is important and what is not.

So next time you’re walking down the street and ready to shout out something inane, or any other situation really, just take a second and as yourself ‘what do i have to say’. Eventually it will become an ingrained practice.

Then maybe you jackasses in cars at three am will stop shouting faggot to me through your open window while we both wait for the green light to cross the road.

Sincerely yours,
B.
