MORE MUSCLE TO KEEP SILENCE

There is an adage or common saying that it takes more muscle to get angry. Most of the time, when you get angry, you talk more than necessary or required of you to make peace to reign even though it could be painful. In this article, you will realize that you need more muscle to keep silence. I will also share with you the physical practical example for you to realize that ability to keep silence at the proper time and unpalatable painful time requires muscles.
Your imagination of muscles may seem to be  based on physiology but in my context, it travels beyond what you might have thought if you think I referred to physical muscles. This kind of muscles, you cannot develop at the gym where you will be instructed to lift weight.  It is not kind of muscle that you develop when your dieticians prescribed supplement capsules or drugs for you to consume on regular basis.
When a dog notices a stranger in his territory, it is natural for it to bark on top of his voice to scare him or her off or to alert his owner to verify the identity of the stranger if it is its master's relative or friends. At that point, its master could make a statement to stop it but it takes disciplined dog to keep silence after its master shouted at it to stop barking. Disciplined dog is dog that has been tortured for eating live chick in the neighbourhood and was punished through beating and it never tried to eat dead chick talk less of live chick.
Self-discipline is one of virtues which you must and I mean pou must possess before you can become a person of valuable and successful. You need it in order for you to develop more muscles so that you can keep silence when you need to keep silence. It may be difficult at times but when you remain disciplined enough, it would be fun. When you hear that do not revenge or retaliate, do you believe in that principle? Turn the other cheek when someone slaps you says Jesus. It means you need to control your hand that wants to slap back in retaliation. But in the case where you know that you cannot slap back, you need discipline to keep silence without grumbling or backbiting or blackmailing the person with your mouth.
Now this is time for me to share with you about the example I raised earlier that will make you understand that it takes more muscles to keep silence. Children are not matured, right? They cannot keep quiet when they are sitting in the court with their parents to support their company or association, for instance. They would still make noise no matter what their parents instruct them because they are not matured and disciplined enough and thus, they cannot control their tongues. They talk more than parrots but it is unfortunate that some of young and adult people talk more than children without control.
This reminds me of incident that happened on my journey from Ondo to Ilorin. When I highlighted from the car at Osogbo, I joined a bus going to Ilorin. There was a man and woman talking loudly as they boarded the bus till they highlighted. I cannot say they were husband and wife or brother and sister and they were both matured adult. They were not speaking my language and other passengers too were quiet even though they could not understand what they were talking about. I won't mention the likely language so that I won't  be percieved as bias person as it has never been in my agenda to tarnish image of any tribe. They talked for about 3 hours and when they highlighted, some other passengers started unleashing their annoyance about their talk disturbance from the inception of our journey.
In  a nutshell, it takes discipline and maturity to keep silence when strange spirit try to give you million reasons or excuses to talk harshly and foolishly back or to people. If you are baby, you can talk anyhow without hearing comments from people because they feel that is how naturally baby talks. If your muscles is as weak as baby's, then nothing distinguishes you from children except age and stature. Keep your muscles exercise and keep silence when you need to keep silence even though the heat from the pot burns your hands or something else annoys you.
