Daniel Esparza on How to Acquire the Virtue of Silence

"Most of us live in a fast-paced world in which information overabounds. In it, noise reigns. The ability to remain silent has become an underappreciated skill. For those striving to live a virtuous and somewhat slower life, learning when to hold one's tongue is crucial.
