I respect silence, silence in all forms, in all shapes, in all situations. Silence can mean everything, doubt, assurance, shame, anger, peace, serenity..clarity
Whenever I am silent, I think and when I think, I understand and when I understand, I am at peace. Therefore, in silence, I am at peace.
But one thing silence is not, is ignorance. It can submit to all forms, all reasons but not ignorance. Being silent doesn't mean we ignore, on the contrary, it is the other way around. We human beings are accustomed to saying what we feel, what we want but neglect the things others want to hear. So in silence, something occupies a space in our soul that it needs further processing, further thinking and thus, technically, not ignoring, on the other hand, it is priority that is why we think about it.
I respect other people's silence, especially silence they so gladly give to me, I am not frustrated for I don't know the reason of being silent, or why someone is silent. I respect silence, for I respect the person. There is a reason for silence and oftentimes we really don't know the reason behind it. The only one who knows is the once who offers silence.
With this, I hope I can make you be silent for a while and think of the things that needs clarity.
You may not instantly have the answer to it but at least you got to think about it, awareness is the 1st step to understanding. With this I hope I had shed a new light on respecting and valuing silence.
--AWESOME
