Best to say nothing than to reveal that you
know nothing. The compulsion to speak
to situations you have but a smattering of
knowledge of, to leave the impression you know
more than you do will come back to haunt you
when someone who does know more than you
quietly comments correcting your immature
observations guided by an impression held dear
that your words are wise, imaging a thoughtful
reflective mind capable of discerning when to
reveal what it knows, when to maintain silence.
Instead you chose the conceit of instant comment
led by vanity imperiously thrusting caution to the
sidelines. The favourable impression you aimed
to elicit shattered of your impulsive volition.
