How many times have I opened my big mouth when it would have been best to just keep what I was saying to myself ?

Let's just say many, many, many.

Just a while ago when my wife came outside I was going to say something but, she really didn't need to hear it.

M-Bob, the older I get, the more I realize that, as long as my silence will not result in harm to somebody else, it has become far more important to me to be happy and at peace than to be 'right'.
In fact, I find I far prefer when somebody else discovers *on their own* that they were wrong, without me having to point it out to them.

In my opinion, getting satisfaction in pointing out others' shortcomings, potentially hurting and/or embarrassing them in the process, is prideful, vindictive, and arguably childish.
