Most people today are crazy about speaking up. They just do anything to get the first word in, and more importantly, their word in.
It’s as though the world is run by people who talk, talk and talk more.
Speaking up is important, no doubt, at specific times.
But only speaking, and not letting anyone else in on the conversation? That’s plain bad manners!
And yet, most people just love the sound of their own voice a bit too much!
But you know what’s even more beautiful than sound and perhaps more important?
Silence!
Silence is crucial if one wants to listen to and understand the words and perspectives of others. Wisdom calls upon us only when we are silent. We can feel the Self within, only in silence. Indeed, silence is the true language of Creation.
