🖋️Bint-e-Abul Khair Azmi
Silence is not merely the absence of words; it is a conscious state, a choice that a person often makes silently but with full awareness.
Where every tongue is bent on speaking, remaining silent becomes an art of self-preservation.
Silence is not weakness, but a stage of awareness where a person restrains himself instead of speaking.
It is easy to say everything, but it is wisdom to recognize the right time and place to say everything.
This wisdom often becomes silence, a decision made by insight, not by the tongue.
There are moments when words lose their meaning. Neither clarification solves the problem, nor does argument change hearts. Then, remaining silent becomes a training of the self, and a person, avoiding the noise, listens to the voice within.
This silence is not defeat, but an attempt to preserve one's dignity.
Silence sometimes wears the cloak of tolerance and sometimes the shawl of wisdom. The person who does not speak on every occasion understands everything.
He knows that it is better to leave some answers to time, that every truth is not for every ear, and every argument is not for every gathering.
Thus, silence takes the form of self-control, a control that saves a person from breaking.
But choosing silence is not always easy. This decision is often taken after enduring much within.
Questions lingering in the eyes, complaints held in the heart, and words that come to the lips and then retreat – all these are the price of silence.
Yet, a person remains silent because he knows that increasing the noise will deepen the wounds instead of healing them.
Silence sometimes manifests as patience and sometimes as wisdom.
The person who knows the art of remaining silent knows that every disagreement is not a war, and every silence is not a defeat.
Sometimes, not speaking is the most effective answer, an answer that does not become a burden on hearts.
Thus, remaining silent is also a decision; a decision that saves a person from pointless conversation, prevents relationships from breaking, and gives peace to the heart.
This decision teaches us that when words are of no use, silence is the most eloquent speech.
