Some things are just better left unsaid...

"Some things are just better left unsaid... "

I think about this a lot. When we leave those things unsaid, we leave others in error. Sometimes we leave them in life-threatening error.

Likewise, sometimes I find out that I've held a wrong idea for many years. When I discover the truth, I feel joy and liberation (because it's always liberating to be free from a lie)! Joy is incomplete until it has been shared (Piper), and I want to tell people about my newfound freedom from ignorance. Many times I get the response, "Well, yeah. I have been wondering for years when you were going to figure that out."

Stunned silence.

You had the key to a door in my prison of ignorance, and you decided that "Some things are just better left unsaid!" You left me wallowing in ignorance while you knew my freedom! You decided that a safe, comfortable, meaningless conversation was better than taking a risk and showing me light?!

What's wrong with you!

....

But, I guess everyone doesn't see it that way.
