There are really times that being so loud and having a lot of talks bring a lot of mistakes too. Often times those can persuade quarrels and unpleasant endings, thus, not helping the situation. I think these are the times when it’s best to keep quiet and consider things so as not to spice up untoward stuffs. a cop pulls you over for speeding . your husband does the dishes but not the way you’d like it. the guy behind the counter is doing everything he can but can’t keep up with the rush of customers. when your husband buys the wrong stuff when you’re the one who is suppose to buy you hate what your daughter named your first grand child.

that's right. it would somehow give us peace. by the way, i happen to stumble upon this topic about being quite and i just wanna share it with you guys here. here is this concept in Judaism (I can be wrong, if so, Israel Brother, please comment).... I think it goes... We are only given so many words in our life time. The more you talk, the less time you got. I don't think it is literal. But there is 100% value in that statement. I think it has to do with the value of listening what others are saying and then only speaking afterwards. source: http://www.cartoonbarry.com/2008/05/being_quiet.html

Sometimes, when the situation is becoming really unfavorable towards you, you can't help but speak up and state your argument yet, it somehow amplifies that quarrel never the less. Knowing when to keep yourself quiet while estimating the odds of the situation would be very helpful in the long run. By the time you get the chance to speak up, perhaps your side would also be considered by the one whom you are having such a disagreement and perhaps consider to compromise to better settle the situation. Not speaking up is not good, we just have to know when and how.
