Phonetic:
"Be'oz'ney
kseel al te'da'ber, kee ya'vooz le'se'chel mee'leicha."
Translation:
In the ears of a fool do not speak for he will scorn the wisdom of your
words.
Meanings:
- One
of the most crucial things in conversation is measuring and knowing
whether the 'vessel' of the listener - his capacity to listen, hear,
comprehend and absorb, is adequate and ready to accept (or consider)
the words of the speaker.
- When
a listener is not ready for your words, instead of giving you a positive
feedback she may try to defend herself and her ego by looking down
upon you and your words, resulting in feelings of anger and insult
in yourself.
- Hence
it is advisable to evaluate the listener capacity of comprehension
beforehand. In case found insufficient - just stay silent or change
the subject matter and the choice of words accordingly.
