I don't think one choice is better than another, but I lean towards the "speak up" camp. I see many people these days afraid to speak up in case they step on someone's toes, but they give up an opportunity to learn and practice this sort of mindfulness. But it's interesting because if you don't interact, how is anyone supposed to learn? Personally, I don't hang on the wording here of "fool" and "wise". "Wise" people try to understand others, while "fools" don't. Here's where the quote resonates with me. So, if they do something like that, often it's because they don't understand. One thing I always think about is that people never intentionally act in a way that makes them look bad. However, they may appreciate the feedback and be more tactful in their future interactions.
In this scenario, I would say the old men are the "fools" and you are acting in accordance to the quote and not speaking out to those who may take offense if you point out their faux pas. Sorry about the downvotes you're getting, I appreciate your response. Instead of asking themselves why people are angry about your "corrections", it tells people to judge people inappropriately to achieve some sort of weird high-ground in the situation, when in fact it could be their fault. The other thing I dislike about it is the fact that it makes people pat on their own back. The quote would say I am a fool here, but am I really? I don't think it makes me a fool to not care about his correction, and to dislike him having to bring it up. I smile and keep running, only to go back to the posture I know works best for me. I have come across at least 5 times a grumpy, old man that never fails to give advice on my running posture, although I never asked him for it and never wanted it from him. For example, I am 18 and go training for a marathon around the small town I live in. Most of the times if someone is angry about you for doing it, it's because you overstep your boundaries on things that weren't necessary. Sometimes people should refrain from correcting other people. That's something I don't like about this quote. I do see how it's a situation that depends on circumstances, so that both of us could be right. I'm gonna save this for later, i have an exam tomorrow and I'm kinda on the line in terms of time, but I'll come back to explain. Want to see brilliant quotes sprawled on walls?
