The talking heads of sports crack me up. The next time you're watching a ballgame on television pay close attention to the commentary, and you'll see a good example of what happens when you talk too much. Silence is a big "no no" so I guess they have to say something even when it's wrong. Nine times out of ten whatever they say now is totally different from what they said a moment ago. I really hadn't paid much attention to it until lately - it all began when a commentator covering golf mentioned a player who loved to putt "right to left". It he's right handed he always putts right to left...right? Now we listen carefully to what they say and it makes a sporting event double as a comedy.
So, the mullination lesson has something to do with talking because you must versus having something to say. More often than not if you just keep quiet others will never know how much you don't know and you'll appear all the wiser. It really makes perfect sense, and what's the problem with silence anyway? Mull on it a while and you'll see what I mean.
