Once I was conversing with one fellow. He kept quiet after talking. I looked sharply at his face for a cause, and understood that he had nothing else to say. After some minutes of silence from both of us, I began to feel uneasy. I began to feel that I needed to say something, but I had nothing on my mind to say. So I forced myself to talk. I talked and talked for hours. In the end, I unconsciously revealed a serious secret to him: a secret I had jealously guarded for years. He only nodded, got up, and walked away. Then I was left there, speechless.
This is how secrets get revealed. So if you have nothing to say, say nothing. No one will harm you.
