Now, I know what some of your are thinking, “How can you be silent if you have to voice your opinion?” The answer, you don’t have to voice your opinion.
After hearing a small group of teenage females talking while standing behind them in line to check out at the store. Now, I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but I did over hear them talking about sex. No biggie, we’re all grown, I’m a mature guy, and I know that reproduction has literally been going on since the beginning of time. The angle that the conversation took was what took me back a little. One girl, looked to be no more than 17, asked, “If I think a guy I’m sleeping with unprotected is sleeping with someone else and we’re not in a relationship, what should I do?” One of her friends said something along the lines of, “As long as the sex is good and he doesn’t give you anything, keep sleeping with him, ” and the trio continued to talk bouncing off opinions and they checked out and left the store.
Now, I’m far from a morals expert, but I just felt like the friend just steered the girl in the wrong direction. Sometimes, it’s just best to keep some things to yourself. And this can work in many different situations and scenarios. Sometimes no opinion is the best opinion a person can have and by staying silent, that person remains neutral and other people can think fro themselves, because I hope that that girl did not take her friend’s advice.
