I fondly remember the scene in the movie Bambi where Thumper the rabbit starts to say something about Flower the skunk. Thumper pulls up and instead quotes his parents advice, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” It can be tempting to criticize someone wearing perfume that is too strong, unflattering clothing or is out of shape. (I’m too often guilty of this.) Similar wisdom was given thousands of years ago in Proverbs. If we only acted on the good advice of scripture………
Proverbs 17:22. Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
