“He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.” - Lao Tzu

Decryption of quote

He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.

These words hold a profound truth about the nature of knowledge and wisdom. The one who truly understands something does not feel the need to boast about it or show off their knowledge to others. Their understanding is so deep and secure that they do not need validation from anyone else.

On the other hand, those who are quick to speak and share their opinions may not have a true understanding of the subject at hand. They may be more focused on appearing knowledgeable or trying to impress others with their words, rather than actually possessing a deep understanding.

It is a reminder to us all to be humble in our knowledge and to not feel the need to constantly prove ourselves to others. True wisdom lies in knowing when to speak and when to listen, when to share our knowledge and when to simply observe and learn from others.

Those who are truly wise understand that knowledge is not about showing off or being the loudest voice in the room. It is about quietly and confidently knowing the truth and being secure in that knowledge, without the need for external validation.

So let us strive to be like the one who knows, who does not feel the need to speak constantly but instead listens and observes, gaining wisdom through quiet reflection and understanding. Let us be humble in our knowledge and always seek to learn and grow, rather than seeking validation through empty words.

For it is in the silence of understanding that true wisdom is found, not in the noise of empty words and false bravado. Let us remember these words and strive to embody the essence of true knowledge and wisdom in our lives.
