Some people will enter your life and benefit from your words there are others that will enter your life that will eventually only benefit from your silence. Those that are benefiting from your words are hearing as well as listening to you and you will see it in their actions.
Those that will benefit from your silence are hearing you but they are not listening to you and that too will show in their actions as well. know that listening and hearing are two totally different things. When you hear your acknowledging that someone is speaking however your brain is not retrieving any of the information leaving you oblivious to what they are trying to tell you. This will lead the speaker down a never ending trail of frustration and wasted words and energy. This person will only benefit from your silence. Refusing to communicate with them will either teach them to listen and not just hear or it will make them stay away.
When your listening to someone you acknowledge what they are saying and you are taking in the information in order to understand what the speaker is saying and react on it in a sensible manner. This person will benefit from your words therefore you should continue talking to them because you could be helping them in some sort of way.
Know that silencing yourself to certain people does not mean they are a bad person it just means that you no longer wish to entertain them with words. Once you reach this plateau of your journey to know your time and energy are precious and not to be wasted on things and people that are undeserving then and only then will you will begin to increase your peace and lessen your frustration.
