"When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber."
Simplified meaning
When the wise and strong people are quiet, those who talk a lot without saying much start making noise. Imagine a meeting where the smartest person, who usually has the best ideas, decides not to speak. Suddenly, others who love to hear themselves talk but don’t have useful things to say start dominating the conversation. This can lead to a lot of pointless chatter and confusion. In real life, if leaders or knowledgeable people don’t share their insights, it gives room for less informed people to spread their opinions. To apply this advice, if you have valuable knowledge or wisdom, it's important to share it to prevent misinformation and unnecessary talk from taking over.
