It’s not necessary to answer everything that comes your way.
A very few of us use this option
but you can keep a perfect silence
for a lot of unnecessary things
and provocations in a day’s work.
With regular interval practice of
silent or nature meditation
you can gain some perfection in this art.
Secondly, we should also be good enough in changing topics
of useless discussions and confrontations.
A few of us like to rake up issues
e.g. Tv debates involving political parties and general public are designed and tailor made for this stuff.
On the other hand, a very small fraction
among us know how to subdue trivial
matters of very little importance.
