SILENCE PLEASE!!!!
SILENCE PLEASE………
My eyes
surveyed the room. The ‘Silence please’
poster across the room caught my attention.
A common feature in most patient waiting rooms. It seemed so appropriate and yet so discomforting at the same time.
We are
trained to be silent. Silent in joy,
silent in love, and silent in grief. All these occasions and many more don’t
deserve silence. It is this silence,
that screams out the loudest. We need to
give an ear to this.
Why is
expression considered so unclassy? Is that the right word? We learned “ Silence
is a virtue”. Not always. Is silence not
an inner battle that all of us wage within ourselves. Privately.
(Most of the time). We go silent when we want to be heard. After a
fight, or in grief, or too much in love.. we expect the other to hear our
silence and understand. How wishful is
that? How does one understand/hear what
you don’t say? Telepathy, Vibrations?
Silence,
also means contemplation and reflection. This silence is healthy and one should dwell
into these realms often. This promotes growth and positivity. The other kind of silence that we encounter
from our loved ones needs attention.
They are the caving in, or the defense
mechanisms at work, trying to protect oneself from further breakdown.
Let us pay
attention to this silence, hear the screams.
Let's encourage our children and loved ones to get out of these dark
allies. Comfort, communicate, and help
them to bring out their screams so that we hear them loud and clear. This will save many a relationship and many a
life.
Let's give
them an ear when they go silent.
Encourage healthy expression of
the inner dialogues, that we more often keep to ourselves. Privacy has to be respected but, not at the cost of one’s mental
wellbeing. Let us teach our loved ones to speak.
Assure them that they will be heard. Let us train ourselves to hear the screams of silence so that our loved ones are
not alone in these allies. Hold their hand and walk them to a safer place because we care.
Listen to
the silence....
At times silence is too loud
ReplyDeleteGood one 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteTrue. People nowadays don't have time to understand another persons silence that's the sad part.
ReplyDeletePeople only want to hear about happy things not hear the silent screams. Good keep writing...
Nice writeup 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteSilence should not be taken for granted as someone's suppression of feelings, but rather, should be treated with respect and taken as an expression of controlled emotions, some understand this but with others we just need to break it...

ReplyDeleteSilence is the space where we retreat when we need time.
Silence is where we allow our minds to consider possibilities, where we integrate the new into the old, where we give credence to our feelings.
Though Language is our great strengths, yet it can become a weakness if overused and, in today’s world, perhaps abused.
Language always wants to classify, categorize, describe, explain. None of these are needed when viewing a sunrise, reflecting on possibilities, absorbing new information or sensations, or dealing with feelings.
Silence can be many things and true silence is when we transcend and go beyond words!
So meaningful .very well explained 😍👍
ReplyDeletePerfectly expressed the power of silence. In todays world everyone wants to express through words irrespective of the situation and without any analysis whether the words or expressions are even required. Silence is powerful and a need to think and act religiously. It is the best answer for every situation. Well written
