Say it or Don’t

Unless you write a best-selling, revolutionary tale or discover something new and incredible (and even then — I’m looking at you Alexandria Library)what is said between you and someone else will be removed from memory as soon as you both die.

Whether you say what’s on your mind or not is less about what good it will do the world and more about how you feel internally. So say it, or don’t.

You could change your life significantly. You could plant the seed of an idea that will change the world. Good or bad, your words have weight — it’s just that the majority of them weigh very little in the grand scheme of things.

So say your piece, or don’t. You’ll either die with your secrets or live with them, and no-one can say for sure which is worse.
