Most people like to talk. Is silence a sign of failure? What kind of person are you?
Children attract everyone with their smiles and actions. They convey messages through expressions. Award movies are more about acting than dialogue. As love and intimacy increase, it is natural that there will be less talk.
When arguing people tend to speak quickly and loudly to show they are right. There are people who do this to show dominance and control others. People with a high inferiority complex try to avoid talking. In some cases, people avoid talking because they think they will be wrong or others won’t accept them.
Being silent has many benefits. To reflect on one’s own attitudes, to express one’s emotions properly, to meditate on God’s thoughts, to control situations that may worsen, to cool down the impatient person, to develop maturity, and so much more can be achieved through silence. Even the fools who keep silent are deemed wise.
It is essential to develop the habit of talking less and doing more. May you be able to remain silent when necessary.
