Time to sound off about the virtues of holding your tongue...

The other day I had the opportunity to see the film Dakota Exile. After the movie, a group of natives and non-natives began to discuss the film and our feelings about the inhumanity the Dakota suffered.  As expressions of empathy and understanding were voiced by natives and non-natives alike, suddenly the drone of some militant man with SMS (short man's syndrome) disturbed the peace.  He would not be quiet. I rolled my eyes so much that I nearly did a flip.  Anyway, I caused the facilitator to start laughing and he had a hard time focusing after my eye roll.  I didn't say a word. I didn't say what I was thinking.  Yet my eyes were speaking for me.  So, holding your tongue is a virtue.  Dare I say an art.  However, as you hold your tongue, try to hold the rest of yourself still as well.
