SILLY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS
SILLY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS
Silly questions, comments belong in silly contexts. They shed light on the interlocutor, only, and none beyond.
In a congress of clueless clowns, silly questions and comments are quite reasonable, convivial, even jocularly welcomed, since, there, jovial jousters and jesters jeer and cheer, each silly sally, joyfully!
But, outside of a college of colorful clowns, silly questions and comments in shedding no light, nor heat upon the topic, only negatively serve to divert the locus of focus from the prevailing context, selfishly, onto themselves!
Such monkey mess is uttered most often for its selfish comedic affect upon others; not for light, not for insight; nor for edification of others; but for aggrandizement of one's self.
Silly questions and comments boldly and brazenly declare their vapid authors' weaknesses and deficiency, not their strengths and sufficiency.
A respectful and observant silence bests silly questions and comments. As the saying goes, " It is much better to remain silent and to maybe be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth, and to remove all doubt!"
