Three Ways to Eliminate Silence in Conversations

More talk equals more sin. One of the best ways to mitigate against sin in our life is just to shut up and talk a little bit less. When we are quiet and listen, we create space for other people's voice to come out. For every person in a conversation who is loud mouthed, like myself at times, there are often two or three people who are shy. We don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. And quiet in id of itself is not a virtue. You can stay quiet in a conversation because you are insecure or seething with resentment or aloof.
