"مردان دانا سخن میگویند زیرا چیزی برای گفتن دارند؛ احمقها سخن میگویند زیرا باید چیزی بگویند."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, people talk just to fill the silence, without really thinking about what they are saying. Others speak because they have important or thoughtful things to share. Imagine a classroom where one student always raises their hand just to get attention, while another student only speaks when they have carefully considered their answer. The first student often says things that don’t help much, while the second student gives valuable insights. In our everyday lives, it’s smarter to speak when we actually have something useful or meaningful to add to a conversation, rather than talking just for the sake of talking. By doing this, people will respect our words more and we can contribute positively to discussions.
