Sorry for
the wacky title. Of late, I have been thinking deeply or rather insightfully,
about writing on something abstract. After a day or two of soul searching I
arrived at this topic. In fact, this happens to all of us and this became great
shelters for the great minds of the world. I too believe that there is wisdom
and knowledge to be gained from ‘Silence’-even for a retard like me. And yes
silence is what silence does!
For people
with different aptitudes and attitudes (I included), silence can mean many
things. Silence therefore can embody mystery, jealousy, guilt, greed, hatred,
passion, love, anger, fear, care, affection, repentance, resentment, doubt etc…etc…

My
experience with silence brings me to this conclusion that desires and
expectations result in silence and thus, all the connotations above! Resentment
keeps one silent. Guilt keeps one silent and so is with all other connotations.
Although, all connotations may vary in their degree of meaning but inversely or
directly, it can precede or succeed silence, for my reasoning cannot go beyond
this because human mind and imagination to me is a big mystery.
Silence is
what silence does! Silence gives me all the ‘viewing points’ rather than ‘points
of view’. There is great power and wisdom in growing to the point where silence
becomes our friend. It is in silence
that we best listen and a great portion of life's best secrets can only be
learned in silence. And what do I do when in silence? Write! That’s right!
I write
because I can do this meaningfully when in silence. Find out what you can do
best when in silence and please do remember remaining idle in silence is
work-shopping devil. LOL!
Silence is
the element in which great things fashion themselves. - Thomas Carlyle
To be honest, I didn't quite get the abstract philosophical underpinning your post wanted to express. I am bad at understanding such things.
ReplyDeleteBut I think I got one essence from your post. In silence resides many things. Different people express different through silence. I am very much with you on this. Liked reading it. Keep posting.
That was my version of interpreting silence Langa but I know it's weird comprehending the essence of the topic. And yes I take your opinion on "in silence resides many things". Thanks for reading anyways.....wrote such weird topic not to suffer from the dangerous, WRITER'S BLOCK. LOL
ReplyDeleteseemed like there was an argument against silence and then a give in to silence at the end...
