Silence Is Strength

Hi Friends!

Why Silence is Golden 

The reason we should ask the question, and encourage teens to explore silent spaces, is because we know that self-reflection is important to human development and learning. 

Silence brings about reflection. The truth is that most of us fear it. When there is silence in a conversation or even in some friendly banter, we fill it up with endless chatter to avoid an awkward scenario. Similarly to when there is silence in our environment, we turn on the television or fill the area with music just so that there would be sound. That would be me. I hated being alone with my thoughts. I did not want to face my stress or think about the reason why. One day; however, I got on a bus and forgot to bring headphones. I usually listened to the same songs on repeat when I took public transport or did anything else that required me to be alone so I thus felt a little discomforted. It was then, when the bus took off, I was left to do nothing but stare at the scenery outside and look at the surroundings. The bus was empty apart from an old Asian man humming a tune in dialect as well as a mother cradling a baby in her arms, in which she winced a little every time the bus jerked. Having found my surroundings uninteresting, including the dull blue buildings that littered the sides of the narrow road, I was left with my thoughts. It was during those moments of realization that I really was stripped of all distractions and had to face myself. My mind wandered to the start to finish of my troubles and I got to ask myself numerous questions, which allowed me to reflect. I got off the bus feeling more at ease and content. It wasn’t the norm for me to confront my problems but after doing so, I realized it should be. I also realized that the reason why I was uncomfortable with silence was because I did not feel secure about how I truly felt at that moment in time. But because of silence, i understood more about myself and reasoned out what feelings I had and dealt with them.

Silence means your moves without violent. Your speech without the loud, Your truth without the words that hurt more then truth. your actions should in way of nature, Not disturbing. 

Let's Try it by yourselves..Good Luck
