Why should people speak less? They say silence is golden. After hearing this story, you'll understand why.Once, a person wished to trade places with a deity. The deity agreed but set a condition: You must remain silent, no matter what happens. The person agreed, thinking it would be easy.They swapped roles. One day, in the grand hall, a wealthy man accidentally dropped his money bag while bowing. The person wanted to alert him but remembered the rule of silence. Shortly after, a poor man arrived, pleading for money to save his critically ill child. He bowed and noticed the money bag on the floor, thinking it was a divine sign. The person wanted to clarify that it wasn't divine intervention but the rich man's dropped money, yet they couldn't speak.Later, a fisherman prayed for safe seas as he left the hall. As he departed, a woman accused him of stealing her money. Unable to defend himself due to the silence rule, a fight almost broke out. Unable to bear it, the person shouted to stop the altercation and revealed the truth to the woman. Once the truth came out, everyone left.The deity then remarked, Do you think speaking out brings justice? Because you spoke, the poor man lost his life-saving money, the rich man lost an opportunity for good deeds, and the fisherman faced a storm at sea due to the delay caused by the rich man's distraction. Speaking caused harm. Sometimes, it's best to let things unfold naturally and trust that everything happens for the best. Too much talk leads to mistakes; silence is golden. Observing quietly is a skill, and learning to keep quiet is wisdom.
