On silence

Is it better to stay silent? 

When is it prudent to use silence as a weapon? 

When do we say it out loud what we have to, and when do we embrace silence? 

Silence isn't for eternity, it is just a pause. The pause is to be used responsibly to reflect and to replenish our understanding and thoughts.

Silence is, thus, not merely the absence of noise, it is the presence of thoughts. 

In a world that's constantly yelling, choosing silence can be the ultimate act of rebellion. 

One needs to try to minimize the urge to speak simply to end that silence. Only then can the full potential of silence as a tool be unleashed.
