I hate it... and most of the people associated with me would agree that this quality is completely "off the charts" when it comes to me... silence and me is like pairing fish with chocolate... each really intricate and unique as individuals but a complete disaster if every experimented with together... wouldn’t u agree that silence brings about a direct negative feeling or atmosphere around?? Even the most majestic places like hospitals and public places loose their charm becoz of the silence that echoes around...
I am known to be a loud speaker from day one.... its only becoz I cant bear anything bottled up inside me... I can keep secrets but cant sit quiet when my conscience tells me something’s not right... I believe in voicing out my opinions about everything I find pricking... its a very negative trait from my part n I know it... but its the same as silently bitching about it behind the back later... both render equal harm emotionally, mentally and physically...
I was once told by someone... speak things out to a point where u refrain from hurting someone... that I patronise... that isn’t silence... its called holding your peace... silence I agree is essential in some places n times too... funerals, hospitals, exams... (all things most of us aren’t comfy with)... but thats about it for me I guess....
The one aspect I hate about it most is when someone feels about something-a situation, decision, agreement, opinion- or someone, decides to be silent about it... n when relevant questions aren’t answered and are left incomplete becoz its left to deal with with silence ...it becomes more like when silence results in “hanging-on-a-cliff” type situations... I've made that mistake a million times n have finally learnt from it... temme why in the earth would u decide to render yourself and the opposite person with so much discomfort??? Don’t u have other things to worry about in life??
Be a man!!(or woman) n speak up dude!!! U don’t know how much better it makes u feel.... it eases out situations, crumbles misunderstandings, builds relationships, improves the system n a lot more!!! Best example- see our parliamentary sessions- everyone’s blabbering away shit mostly... but when the sessions over, the ones who managed to say whatever they what to come out with a head high feeling... coz they’ve said all they wanted to...
When your done reading this... see this within yourself...if u feel u have build up a wall against someone or avoided a situation becoz you’ve felt over time silence will resolve it all- snap out, call them up n break the barrier.... you’ve tortured that thing enough... and yourself in return too... scream, cry, shout ,curse, yell, bark if u wish.... and see how much better u feel...don’t be disheartened if the situation doesn’t resolve...don’t give up till your satisfied that you’ve done enough to mend things from your side... or its at least out of your head so u can probably have more space to worry about something else in return... but try not to leave any question unanswered....coz silence is like an invisble excruciating pain... n only sound of any form is its remedy...
and If u have already from before or rather think around the same lines as me.... UR THE MAN!!!(OR WOMAN)... Bravo to ya!!
F.Y.I- Silence is the first tool in admitting ones’ fault....
You are good as a drilling machine....please remain one.....
