The Art of Discretion: Mastering the Fine Line Between Tact and Truth

Discretion is the art of being subtle, tactful, and sensitive to the privacy of others. It is an important quality in many aspects of life, including personal relationships, professional situations, and social interactions. Here are some tips for mastering the art of discretion:

1 .Listen More Than You Speak: One of the key aspects of discretion is knowing when to speak and when to stay silent. Listen carefully to what others are saying and gauge the level of sensitivity around the topic. Avoid sharing confidential or sensitive information with others unless it is absolutely necessary.

2. Be Respectful of Others' Privacy: Respecting the privacy of others is essential to mastering discretion. Avoid gossiping or sharing personal information about others, even if it may seem harmless. Keep information confidential unless you have explicit permission to share it.

3. Use Discretion When Posting on Social Media: Social media can be a breeding ground for oversharing and lack of discretion. Be mindful of the information you share on social media and how others may perceive it. Consider the potential consequences of sharing information before you post.

4 .Know  When to Speak Up: Discretion is not always about staying silent. Sometimes, it is important to speak up in situations where someone's safety or wellbeing is at risk. Use your judgment to determine when it is appropriate to speak up and when it is best to stay quiet.

5. Practice Empathy and Understanding: Practicing empathy and understanding is key to mastering the art of discretion. Try to see things from other people's perspectives and understand how your actions and words may affect them. Be sensitive to their feelings and experiences.

In summary, mastering the art of discretion requires a combination of active listening, respect for others' privacy, thoughtful social media use, knowing when to speak up, and practicing empathy and understanding. By focusing on these qualities, you can become a more discreet and thoughtful individual in all aspects of your life.

A Gentle Answer Turns Away Wrath

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, But the mouth of fools gush out folly. 3 The LORD's eyes are everywhere, Keeping watch on the evil and the good. 4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, But deceit in it crushes the spirit. 5 A fool despises his father's correction, But he who heeds reproof shows prudence. 6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, But the income of the wicked brings trouble. 7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; Not so with the heart of fools. 8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But he loves him who follows after righteousness. 10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: Whoever hates reproof shall die. 11 She'ol and Avaddon are before the LORD -- How much more then the hearts of the children of men!

12 A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; He will not go to the wise. 13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face; But an aching heart breaks the spirit. 14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouths of fools feed on folly. 15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, But one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. 16 Better is little, with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a fattened calf with hatred. 18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, But one who is slow to anger appeases strife. 19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, But the path of the upright is a highway. 20 A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother. 21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, But a man of understanding keeps his way straight. 22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail; But in a multitude of counselors they are established. 23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time! 24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, To keep him from going downward to She'ol.

25 The LORD will uproot the house of the proud, But he will keep the widow's borders intact. 26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, But the thoughts of the pure are pleasing. 27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, But he who hates bribes will live. 28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers, But the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil. 29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones. 31 The ear that listens to the reproof lives, And will be at home among the wise. 32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, But he who listens to reproof gets understanding. 33 The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility. — Proverbs 15 | Hebrew Names Version (HNV) The Hebrew Names Version Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Genesis 13:8; Leviticus 7:18; Deuteronomy 19:14; Deuteronomy 32:22; Judges 8:1; 1 Kings 1:12; Nehemiah 2:2; Psalm 59:7; Proverbs 1:2; Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 1:25; Proverbs 8:21; Proverbs 9:7; Proverbs 10:1; Proverbs 12:14; Proverbs 13:18; Proverbs 16:24; Proverbs 17:1; Proverbs 18:15; Proverbs 22:5; Proverbs 25:25; Ecclesiastes 4:6; Ecclesiastes 7:5; John 9:31; Acts 1:24; Ephesians 5:15; 1 Timothy 6:9; 1 Timothy 6:11; Hebrews 4:13; 1 Peter 3:15; Revelation 2:7

I always thought that "discretion is the better part of valour" meant that you keep quiet about the people you save/help/keep their secrets. Turns out it means that you can run away and that's much less cool.

A Game of Thrones, Eddard IV

“Your lady awaits you upstairs.”

Ned was lost. “Catelyn is truly here? This is not some strange jape of Littlefinger’s?” He sheathed his blade.

“Would that it were, Stark,” Littlefinger said.

“What is this place?”

“Just what it appears,” Littlefinger said. “A brothel. Can you think of a less likely place to find a Catelyn Tully?”

He smiled. “As it chances, I own this particular establishment, so arrangements were easily made.

“I am most anxious to keep the Lannisters from learning that Cat is here in King’s Landing.”

“Why?” Ned asked.

“Follow me, and try to look a shade more lecherous and a shade less like the King’s Hand. It would not do to have you recognized. Perhaps you could fondle a breast or two, just in passing.”

They went inside, through a crowded common room where a fat woman was singing bawdy songs while pretty young girls in linen shifts and wisps of colored silk pressed themselves against their lovers and dandled on their laps.

No one paid Ned the least bit of attention.

Ser Rodrik waited below while Littlefinger led him up to the third floor, along a corridor, and through a door.

It's been a week of not actively posting anything within the insta-bubble and it feels good. Feels even better to have deleted the app on my phone and not logging in via my computer anymore. It feels like coming out of the bubble in so many ways. As I am going through a breakup for several months now , this process is present at the same time and takes a lot of space in my head, my heart, my life. By cutting my ig-consumption I feel less distracted and more confronted with my heartbreak and the my healing process, which feels necessary and right (as painful as it may be..). I think using too much Social Media and getting that artificial and redundant dopamin-hit on a daily basis can be very addictive on the one hand and harmful for my mental and physical health on the other. Don't get me wrong, I am connected to many beautiful souls on IG who I know in person or (if not) inspire me so much through their art, lifestyle, mindset etc. But taking conscious breaks from this bubble actually calms me down and many of exactly these people (not only them tho!) have deeply inspired me to do so! Tumblr is like my life diary to which I can always return (and do so), where can write down my most personal thoughts. Here, i can express my most intuitive and creative way of being and it is mostly focussed on writing, my deepest passion. There is even no such possibility on IG in general (only to a certain extent). Happy Full Moon btw Loves <3! This Full Moon in Scorpio feels very intense (Full Moons in general+ Scorpio- the most intuitive, passionate sign imo) and this intensity is exactly what requires me to slow down in discretion (means no oversharing or over-consumption of social media) and write on paper. To care for myself. To speak to my actual friends who care (not only social-media contacts). This Full Moon is showing me my open wounds for several days already and I can feel its intensity deeply. it also shows me my passions and desires, my creativity , intuition and inspirations. My pain and my beauty. My privacy and my personal, safe and innate space in my heartcenter. My gratitude and what's really important in my life atm.

Wishing you all a gentle transition into this Full Moon Cycle. A blessed and healing space, where the Moon is showing us the ebbs and flows of our hearts and our souls.

Blessed Be.

xx

The Wise Woman

1 The wise woman builds her house, But the woman of folly tears it down with her own hands. 2 He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, But he who is devious in his ways despises Him. 3 In the mouth of the ignorant fool is a rod of lofty pride, But the lips of the wise will keep them. 4 Where no oxen are, the manger is clean, But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox. 5 A faithful witness will not lie, But a false witness breathes out lies. 6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none, But knowledge is easy to one who has understanding. 7 Leave the presence of a fool, As you have not known lips of knowledge there. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, But the folly of fools is deceit. 9 Ignorant fools scoff at guilt, But among the upright there is favor. 10 The heart knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not share its gladness.

11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, But the tent of the upright will flourish. 12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, And the end of joy may be grief. 14 The one who turns back in his heart will be satisfied with his ways, But a good man will be satisfied with his. 15 The simple believes everything, But the prudent one discerns his steps.

16 A wise man fears and turns away from evil, But a fool gets angry and feels secure. 17 A quick-tempered man acts in folly, And a man of evil schemes is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 19 The evil will bow down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20 The poor is hated even by his neighbor, But those who love the rich are many. 21 He who despises his neighbor sins, But how blessed is he who is gracious to the poor. 22 Will they not wander in error who devise evil? But lovingkindness and truth will be to those who devise good.

23 In all painful labor there is profit, But mere words from the lips lead only to want. 24 The crown of the wise is their riches, But the folly of fools is folly. 25 A truthful witness delivers souls, But he who breathes out lies is deceitful. 26 In the fear of Yahweh there is strong security, And his children will have refuge. 27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, To turn aside from the snares of death. 28 In a multitude of people is a king’s splendor, But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin. 29 He who is slow to anger has great discernment, But he who is quick-tempered raises up folly. 30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But jealousy is rottenness to the bones. 31 He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him. 32 The wicked is thrust down by his own evil, But the righteous takes refuge even in his death. 33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the midst of fools it is merely made known. 34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people. 35 The king’s favor is toward a servant who acts insightfully, But his fury is toward him who acts shamefully. — Proverbs 14 | Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
