Last week, on Facebook, I noticed a few people posted the following quote: "I speak my mind because it hurts to bite my tongue"

I know it's meant to be funny. But I think it actually shows weakness and selfishness. If you were stronger, you could hold your tongue. If you weren't being selfish, you wouldn't need to force your opinions and judgments on other people.

Holding your tongue when you would rather speak your mind takes discipline and maturity. Something we could all stand to do more of.
