Remain silent or speak up?

What’s your approach? Would you rather keep quiet and not waste your time, keeping your peace of mind? Or do you speak up and be assertive?

It depends on the issue, how important it is and whether me getting involved is going to make any difference.

Sort of reminds me of the Edmund Burke famous quote “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”. Now speaking up or remaining silent is not the same as “doing” or not doing, but the implication is clear. For me however, I honestly try the quick evaluation, the reward vs consequences that I bet everyone does. If it isn’t going to really affect me or my family and friends, I would rather not get involved even if the fight is a noble one.

I speak up when needed. It's easy because I'm tall and can look eye to eye or down on most people 😊
If it means that it’ll ruin other people’s life I say nothing.
