A thing which has no voice but has a strong effect in our lives is silence. The art of silence is quite rare.
It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to read through someone’s personal writings and see how they perceive certain things as well as how certain events have shaped them. Even the smallest event that would seem like nothing to someone can spark something big within someone else.
Something that seems so unimportant, something so minor, something so insignificant can have such a major impact on another individual. Silence can sometimes show a side of integrity and virtue with greater depth than any words can convey.
Just because it is peaceful, it doesn’t mean it is still and void, as few people may think. It is insightful, powerful and full of meaning. It is when one can’t lie to oneself.
The more introverted your communication partner will be, the more likely they will think before they speak.
Silence is comforting. And, to bump into people who can effortlessly share your silence, is overwhelming and humbling all at once!
