Almost everybody has experienced uttering harsh sarcastic words against somebody when losing temper but afterwards regretted saying those words. How we wish to bring back that moment so that we can correct what we had said or take control of ourselves and just kept silent. Knowing the moment when to act or not to act, to speak or to keep silent is a virtue we must learn. When the right moment comes, we should act before it goes away.
How often are we confronted with angry, scornful or ungrateful responses from persons we wish well when giving advices during the low moments of their lives. When everyone?s threshold of irritability is low, when a person can?t stand criticism or good advice, wait for the right moment to speak.
When we feel anger, fear, hurt, jealousy or resentment we should never act or to speak. Wait till our emotion has cooled down, then that is the right moment to act.
