God says talking too much is foolish, so talking less is considered wise to him (Proverbs 29:11). Some people pride themselves on speaking their minds, which is good to a degree because you know where they stand. Some people better be glad I've mastered the art of selective speaking, because if I really said what I thought, people would be shocked and in trouble. You don't always have to say what's on your mind because sometimes, it can get you in trouble.
