Silence..

Its really difficult to explain this word because its used to express thoughts and emotions that are inexpressible.

“Silence speaks louder than words”– they say and its true. One can silence the voice but how does one silence “silence”? You cannot. And that’s the power of it.

A quite mind beholds thousands of thoughts (if not million) and knows that the mass is not ready to listen to these thoughts. Hence it chooses to remain silent.

Silence has voice of its own. Maybe its loudest of all. And it has the beauty of hiding all the chaos with calmness.

Words are merely the drops in an ocean. Silence is the ocean. It amuses me the way others interpret silence- they assume it to be your shyness or worse- a characteristic of a coward. In fact, its the opposite.

Wise men have beautifully quoted the power of silence. And it takes patience of a saint (if I may say) and resistance to not fall into the pointless banter of words that the world has to offer.
