It is perhaps, the most dangerous weapon than anything else in this world. I fear silence more than anything else. I fear my own silence. At the same time, I love it too. Silence is golden, goes the saying. Silence makes more meaning, in depth of a single meaning as well as the number of interpretations. It is the purest music that can be heard. When some person is silent, there may be many interpretations for that silence. There may be anger behind that silence. There may be love. There may be a wounded heart. There may be fear. There may be pride. There may be affection. There may be commitment and dedication. There may be laziness. There may be reluctance. There may be anything. There may be much more.
The anger in silence makes more impact than the anger in words. It is frightening to others. Sometimes, unbearable too. Especially when a person who talks all the time in a day, whom everybody request to keep quiet, is silent for an hour or so by himself without anyone telling him, then people around him who got used to him are more frightened by that silence rather than being happy. They cannot invite that forced silence. It becomes unbearable. It is like the silence after a storm, which is more frightening.The silence comes in different forms. The frightening silence after a storm. The inviting silence at the dawn, with the birds setting out to find their food. The eerie silence at the night. The pleasant silence in a temple. The welcoming silence on a hilltop with the air blowing in ears. The bloody silence after a battle. The lovely silence between lovers. The unbearable silence between estranged couples. The silent sleep of a small kid. The heavy silence before a verdict. The silence in anger. The silence in submission. The silence in hurt. The silence in emotion. And what not?
Sometimes silence can be comfortable and sometimes the opposite. True friendship comes only when the silence between friends is comfortable and cherished. Else, the relation may disappear into a silent night. Silence makes more impact than anything else, provided it is noticed. We, in this dynamic world don't have enough time to waste it on noticing the beauty of silence. Fall in love with silence. Fear it. Feel it. Enjoy it. There is much more in it than what we know.
