I guess it is better to keep things unsaid rather than explaining it.

You are right. Some things are better left unsaid. There are a lot of things that come to my mind that I want to say to some people to set them straight or to put my foot done but I think about it a little more and realize if I were to say what I really want to say then it would just start a big fuss. So yes, some things are better left unsaid! Good quote to live by.

Hi airasheila!Action speaks louder than words.And Its better to be silent and remain calm than to explain things in a complicated way.

I hope everything turns out alright. Life can be stressful and we do go through so many things. In some circumstances it may seem as if it is best for things to not be discussed. Unless we feel that we can really trust and open up to our friend.

It is better sometimes it is much better to let somethings go unsaid...there are times that even though you think you are doing the correct thing by explaining a situtation and it is so much easier just not comment at all...

I think concrete problem need a concrete analysis,in some case yes it is better that keep things unsaid rather than explaining,but if it is a important thing and it can not be completed by yourself,so in this case you had better to explain to others clearly to avoid misunderstanding.

You don't need to trouble for other's mistake. The silent and than smile are best policy.I think sometimes you don't need to explain too much between you and your friends. Friends will understand and respect you!

Well yes, especially when the other party you have to exoplain the situation to is not very open to listening, then it is rather useless to try to make them understand, right? i mean, why the effort in trying to make someone understand... when that someone is utterly obvious as to won't listen to any reasoning.

I think that there are many interpretations of silence or keeping quiet and I have heard some of them already. I could remember three for now and they are as follows: -Silence means yes -Silence means guilt/guilty -Silence is the best response to an insult With regards to your experience, your silence might have shown anger or obvious dislike to the action done to you. In my experience, there are things that needs to be said and there are those that are better kept unsaid. Communication is important but sometimes information can be the ruin of so many things important as well, so the final decision would probably be left for the individual to weigh on the matter.

Yes, sometimes we have to keep things unsaid because when we talk there's a possibility that a misunderstanding will occur. So just keep quiet and smile. Let her realize what she has done.

Sometimes it is especially if we know that it won't help in the situation where we are dealing with or what is happening around. I don't want to argue or explain things when I am mad or feeling irate and all- as I know it won't give any good result.

Hi. I guess that's the best thing to be done. If I'm in that situation, I really hate explaining.

Well there are times that I am like.I better be quiet than explaining things out especially if it is not my obligation to explain things more.

i do not agree, i think that you have to explaine to the people who love you and you love them its not good to keep quiet, i think silence lead to troubles no matter what it is

Depends on the situation. If you are type of person who forgives and forgets people and situations then it could be better. But if you keep in your heart and mind, better speak up. It will not do good on you. and problems will not be resolved just worsen.

It simply means you'd rather not explain what the truth is all about and just keep it to yourself.

hi, yes,as i have said in your topic before its better to be silent just to stop the issue or not to extend the issue that will create fighting and misunderstanding to other people.but of course sometimes we should also tell to them our feelings.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes i have heard many saying this line and in my opinion, there are some things that should never be put into words and should be kept intact within our heart. The fact that some things cannot be spoken will definitely make us conscious and aware of what we speak. On several occasions i have preferred to remain silent and gauge the situation and take positives from it. What say?

That is my husband's favorite reply whenever people around him become too nosy for his comfort. When he was asked something he would rather not explain, he would just shake his head and smile. Often times, people will take this differently, it can be seen as him being aloof, or nonchalant, or they might take that whatever it is, it is just nothing or he's just silent. Well, they can all think whatever they want to think, even the worse, but he will never be misquoted because he didn't say anything. Whatever goes around will just be merely opinions of those people but these have no bearing at all because everyone knows he didn't say anything. Not a bad approach for gossip mongers, eh?

it really true just to prevent some argument its better to be just keep silent if someone bothers you. the bottom line here is "Less Talk, Less Mistake"

yes. there are somethings that are better to leave in silence rather than say it in order to protect someone else feelings. because sometimes, the truth hurts rather than lies.
