Silence is a response sometimes, in fact its the best response at times. "Often" because there are some times you've got to speak out, as our silence would mean continuity and hindrance to necessary justice, however there are many other occurrences where there's no need to speak out, as silence at that point is the best answer. I know the adage is already singing in your mind "silent is the best answer for a fool", that word was probably coined when you're loosing a heated argument and you can't seem to get the right word to say, well that's not the angle I'm looking at today, because the best way to win an argument is to stand by the truth, that way you can defend it alright, lies are often leading to a dead end, the truth often has its back up leading to a win, sometimes maybe not that day, but be sure truth always prevails.
There are quite a number of people who just love to tease you, deriving joy from showing they are better than you, this category of people don't need your argument to keep shut, so ease the stress of explaining, and work to have result, a clear result would be the best response to their claim, no fights needed, no quarrel, feed them silence and let the pain push you into working harder to get a result.
Everyone can speak for themselves, sometimes its true we are lazy, other times we are not, just luck hasn't yet shone on us, yet in either, be it we truly lazy or not, speaking out for ourselves, trying to defend ourselves against the insults of people would often lead to greater insuts, especially when of course you're speaking to a fool. We need results, that's why we can't keep relenting, so we can raise our heads high in public and be sure to have a nice time as our evidence is enough to speak louder for us.
Its now dependent on how hungry we are seeking for results, the thirst to go back and face all those mockers and have the last laugh, well wishes aren't horses and so we can't just fold hands and which the heavens would place it all on our doorsteps, remember the heavens too would need us to be competent and not just prayerful, so we don't misuse the position given to us. Being competent comes by hardwork, a willingness to learn and improve, so we do our best and leave the rest for God, but are we doing our best?
Remember Rome wasn't built in a day, all the boast of building a big fortress would have been a mere saying should the people not set out to actually work. The journey of a thousand mile starts with a step right, if you keep quarrelling and arguing that you can make a thousand mile journey without really making the step, do you know you'll only keep being insulted and jested at, what we need to do isn't to argue or fight just to stand for our ego, we need results, result would speak louder, but as we await results and their voices of discouragement keeps singing in our ears, we just keep quiet, not concurring nor disagreeing, just silence that clearly say "a little wait from now", then get to work.
However change is always ready to happen, we have seen the unexpected happen, people who has been written off and said to - you can't be great, really working to change that sentence, women who has been told it's a mans world and you can take up those positions, now results of their hardworks are out and they are seated comfortably where they have been formerly rejected, life is full of changes and we all are very subject to change, there's no law anywhere that is prohibiting us from changing the status quo, so we fully knowing this, we can laugh at insults and just keeps quiet, knowing its high time we press hard for a change.
Things would be the way they are until there is a force that pushes it, life would keep giving the outcome of our actions but with a better approach comes a better response to situations. God is the commander however, so we go in prayers and hope all is well and our efforts are crowned with favour. Work and pray, arguing does very little, a better result would silent all adversaries. God help us all.

It is best to be silent and work behind doors to make your success speaks especially when people starts criticizing you. You don't have to vent out in anger and unleash every words in you, be silent and let them keep talking and insulting you.
