Silence is acceptable

"That person is really silent. I wonder if he can speak at all". This is generally what people think when they see a person who is not outgoing. What they never realize is that they are just rattling their own brains and getting into things which are meant to be left alone. Some people are silent by nature. They don't trust the world easily. The mind is a great player with its own bag of tricks to keep an individual from expressing oneself. The train of thought that goes on in his head might be far greater than things which are petty and unimportant. Silence is a lethal weapon and a person's best way of expression, only if it's observed at the right time. Unfortunately, this essential trait is missed by all folk when it comes to the power of silence; often leading to misunderstandings, wrong perceptions etc.

That apart, if you really are a man of power and focus, there's little needed to blurt things out to the world. Silence is a weapon that defends, but never offends or hurts. Each person has a world of their own for which they would like to dedicate a few minutes of their time, everyday. But why don't they do it? It's all part of our genetic system to take the easy way out. Never think about whom you are, what you did today, why you are facing the challenges. Remember, every other person can tell you all that you need to know about anything, the way to achieve it well. But do we ever stop to really ponder about what he or she gave you the help you needed? I think not. Everything must be done after thinking about it.

Then again, who am I to give such advice? I just do things the way I see fit. So can you? Or, will you?
