Don't be too quick to comment

Learning to be less quick to comment has saved me from engaging in a great deal of unnecessary or untimely conversation . Without question it saves me time ,energy and probably more than a few arguments .
Many of us are quick to comment on practically everything . We’ll gladly comment on someone else’s comment ,their opinion ,or a mistake that we perceive may have been made . We’ll comment on the way someone looks ,behaves ,or seems to think . Sometimes our comments are critical in nature ,other times they are complimentary or engaging . Most of our comments are probably useful , helpful , necessary or simply entertaining . Sometimes our input can help solve a problem ,come up with a solution , a better way of doing something ,or contribute in some meaningful way . Terrific .Keep commenting .
Invariably ,however ,some of our comments are at best unnecessary and at worst counterproductive . They arise out of habit , a knee-jerk reaction ,or some unexplained need we have to comment . Some of these comments lead to arguments , hurt feelings or confusion . These are the ones that you want to avoid making , if possible .
