MIDNIGHT THOUGHTS #8 The Beauty Of Silence
"Never assume that loud is strong and quiet is weak."
The world of nature is a great giver of good things. Silence is one of them.
Silence is eternal peace and makes our life- as well as the lives of others- beautiful. If used intelligently, it is a beautiful way to express emotions.
A typical definition of silence is "state of being quiet".
Why would we want to practice this quietness? Quietness is good to enjoy the solace in times of stress which can be an added advantage to reform our spirit. It is useful when we seek a clear direction for issues that trouble us.
We also know that silence has been a great source of creative energy for writers and artists over the time, and have read how the great classical musician Beethoven was inspired with great pieces of music during his period of solitude and silence.
"Listen to the silence, it has so much to say."
Silence means different things to different people. For a busy hands-on nursing mum, silence can mean the peace that comes after the children are tucked up in bed. A factory worker will appreciate walking away from the deafening noise of rolling types of machinery.
A Jewish sage once wrote in Ecclesiastes 3,
“To everything, there is a season and a time for every purpose under the heaven……..a time to keep silence, and a time to speak…..”
David’s advice is necessary, as people are drawn in search of peace. We all know that if we have nothing good to say about others, it is best to keep silent, instead of bad-mouthing them. We should speak encouraging words all the time, push others forward instead of criticizing and stir up trouble.
Silence is
the ultimate disguise.
It cloaks the truth
and mutes lies.
Close your mouth and
open your eyes and
everyone will think
you're very wise.
Silence is beauty
a soothing absence that calms
the fevered mind.
Silence is hope
a peaceful place
where thoughts become aspirations.
Silence is a strength.
Look around yourself,
we all can truly enjoy
the beauty of silence
in a loud environment wherever we are.
"Silence isn't empty. It's full of answers."
