If You Have Nothing Good To Say

Hello Blog. Your 3rd anniversary is fast approaching and as you sift through your contents you will realize that many things have transpired, many emotions have been expressed in words, and many things have been left unwritten (and unspoken). Haven't you wondered why, oh Blog? 

Blog, you know fairly well that I am more apt in expressing myself through writing than to speaking out the things on my mind. However, I have realized over the course of this journey that even the written word has power and vibrations which could cause ripples on a still lake and I am not that enthusiastic to cause a tsunami.  If I just kept on writing and posting what I had and still have on my mind, that would have revealed too much about myself which I am not ready to reveal to the mundane.  It may also cause discomfort and God knows what else that could make this plane less peaceful.

Many a time and oft I have encountered these words:

If you have nothing good (or positive) to say, keep your mouth closed.

I know, I don't write with the mouth but with my fingers and fingertips but it is basically the same.  I believe I have a better version though!

If you have nothing good to say or write during certain moments, better shut down your brain..

Crazy, but I believe it's the best solution to possibly chaotic impulsiveness.

Months ago, we had been warned by V to be mindful of what we say or post in 3d world or online.  WHY?  The reason is this: whatever we say or do, though it may be nothing or normal to us, it may mean something else to others. It is true.  Whatever we say or do may just be hilarious or serious but they could be misinterpreted by others.

I have struggled for many months on how to be mindful and I am not so sure if I have made any improvement.  I would like to think so but I believe I need to work more on it.

Being mindful does not necessarily mean repressing what we really think and feel about some things and situations but I believe that it is RESPONSIBLY EXPRESSING OURSELVES.  I have known far too many people who rely on impulse and say or post whatever they want to say to EXPRESS themselves freely and not minding to hurt other people directly or indirectly.  I believe I have done such things too and gave in to certain impulses but as I have said, I want to train my mind to be more mindful.  If we don't start training ourselves NOW, when should we do it?  Should we do it when our attention is called again to become mindful? Should we do so when we have hurt more people unknowingly?  Should we do it when we realize that we have been thinking erroneously for the longest time?  WHEN???

The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of flying daggers in guise of words.  Words which heal, defend, offend, hurt, etc etc.  I would rather receive cuts of those daggers straight to my face but there are cunning linguists who would rather throw the blades in various directions least expected say, the back.  To retaliate would defeat the purpose of learning mindful thinking and expressing of the egoic self and the true Self.  To keep silent does not indicate surrender to words said but express courage to face the sharpness of the blades.

Though I speak in vague and incomprehensible tongues of messengers, I would like to shroud my words for now.  

Since I have nothing good to say, I would just shut up and stop typing.

Until then.
