Can you watch the old man stand there unmoved and keep silent? Facing an old man who is faltering, his reaction is the same as that of other passengers. Since everyone is like that, the end of this public service advertisement should be changed to, when the whistle rings, people sitting in the car are scrambling to give up their seats to the elderly, otherwise why should a young man give up his seat to the elderly?
What did the people in that car get for being silent? A seat, and so on.
"Silence is golden", and the second part is "The wise are speechless". I don't know if the wise are silent, but we can look below. In fact, many people say that "silence is golden, and the wise are silent" is often making excuses for themselves. The old Confucius had three thousand disciples. He faces so many students every day, and each student's problems are different. He must answer the students' questions, otherwise he won't read The Analects today. In addition, he has to publicize Confucianism, give lectures everywhere, and persuade the monarch to adopt his ideas. To do these things, he has to talk, not say, "I'm smart, I'm speechless!" " If all wise men are silent, then too many people can become wise men, and people who can become saints can be seen everywhere. A man who talks big all day like Confucius can only go back to "repairing the soil" for a meal. Although the work of "repairing the land" is ok, it still depends on one's own labor, but Confucius certainly can't be a saint. Someone said, "If you don't talk, I'll write all the lines." But he never imagined that smart people are speechless and are willing to publicize their ideas in a way that is more tiring than talking-writing? It is conceivable that if one day we are all "speechless" in order to be "wise men" and everyone changes to writing to communicate, then we will all become calligraphers.
It is not the wise who are really silent, but the mediocre. Only mediocre people will make excuses for themselves, for their incompetence, and write a sentence where they can't answer, "Silence is golden, and the wise are speechless." A true wise man dares to admit his shortcomings and deficiencies. Those who can correctly understand their own shortcomings, dare to introspect, and don't keep silent where they can't, that is the real wise man.
"Silence, silence, if you don't break out in silence, you will die in silence." Give up silence and you will do better.
