The Wisdom of Discretion

This is a big one.  THERE IS SERIOUS WISDOM IN BEING DISCRETE.  You should probably get that emblazoned on your forehead AND a tee shirt.  Being discrete in behavior and communication is NOT.....I repeat.....NOT....the same as lying.  At least not in my dictionary.  Discretion is the choice to say nothing when saying something would cause pain or damage.  Lying is trying to get out of responsibility for something.  Discretion is taking responsibility.
