Don't ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, and my kindness for weakness. Unknown
Just because I don't speak up the way some do about issues and controversial topics doesn't mean that I am ignorant or lack knowledge. Just because I stay calm doesn't mean I am accepting. Just because I am kind doesn't mean I am weak.
In fact, I believe my silence indicates wisdom. There's a time to speak and a time to remain silent, it takes wisdom to know when. In matters of social injustices if being calm is the behavior then indifference is usually the attitude. In matters of morality being calm doesn't always indicate acceptance but wisdom. There's a time to act and a time to not, it takes wisdom to know when. And I prove my strength of character when I am kind, most especially when I don't want to be.
What about you? How does today's quote describe, or not, you?
Make no mistake about me and I'll do my best to make no mistake about you.
