The fool’s dilemma?

This week, rather than offer my own thoughts, I am going to pose some questions that I hope will prompt you to think for yourselves.

There’s an old Chinese proverb that says, “He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.”

But there is also a famous American saying that declares, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”

My question for you today is this: Which do you think is right?  Can both be true?  And if so, how?

Think about it…

And have a wonderful day.
