Man Of Understanding

Prompt: Proverbs 11:12: "A man who lacks judgement derides his neighbor but a man of understanding holds his tongue." How have you see this play out in life?

At my job, I had to walk away and be alone when I got upset with a patient or employee. It saved me from getting in trouble and made me a bigger person. Keeping peace with family members, I didn't say anything. Silence sometimes says more then words and saying mean things. God wants us to make peace and not yell at people and I try to follow this rule. It is better to make peace any way you can and not hurt others. Sometimes, you suffer the hurt but you survive and God smiles on you.
