The power of silence

Silence.

Silence is the state of been silent or absent of sound, a refusal to speak when expected, or a trait of keeping things secret.

-- Webster dictionary

Silence in definition can help a lot and can also save lives. Sometimes it is better to talk and avoid circumstances. So taking after the definition from the dictionary, anyone who is also born dumb and can't talk would also be tagged silent??.

No!!

Silence to me goes beyond not having the ability to speak. Actions also speak, there is this saying that "Action speaks louder than voice."

So I would say silence is the ability to refrain oneself from the thing that could implicate or cost you to lose self-respect, honor, and dignity.

I have been hearing this saying that "Silence is the best answer for a fool." But when you keep silent in places you are meant to talk or take action then you become a fool out of yourself.

THE POWER OF BEEN SILENT AT THE RIGHT TIME

• Silence can save lives

• Silence gives opportunity

• Silence proves maturity

• Silence brings respect and honor

• Silence avoids conflict and disagreement.

There are many samples I could give to back up each power of silence. But let talk about silence as an act of avoiding conflicts.

All fingers are not equal, so you can't expect everyone to be the same, it can never be possible. Having some issues or when you get to encounter with some people that would be so much frustrating just to get you annoyed. But having the power of silence with you and getting it applied at the appropriate time. Then such a person would be left with no choice that to leave. Then you already avoided a great problem from been silent.

IN SUMMARY, ALL I AM SAYING IS TO KEEP SILENT, BUT KNOW WHEN AND HOW TO KEEP SILENT.

SILENCE IS A POWER, USE IT WISELY…
