    Exclamation the vow of silence

    a wholesome penance or a punishing tenant?
    or is silence a disguise of mischief? by having the right to keep silent surely that would be the wrong thing to do to show penance if we go with the law.
    any views most welcome

    If you are going to do multiple choice, at least disguise the fraud to a few more. LOL

    Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.

    And there are numerous proverbs warning against wicked words. Few things are warned against more than errant speech.
    Nothing resting in its own completeness
    Can have worth or beauty; but alone
    Because it leads and tends to farther sweetness,
    Fuller, higher, deeper than its own.

    That isn't wise cacian. They all work together; that is against you. There are no wicked words without wicked thoughts; and wicked words inevitably lead to wicked deeds.
