A person who speaks nothing most of the times or who speaks very less, what do you think about that kind of guy ? You think he likes privacy more than anyone else. May be he is unable to speak as he has nothing to speak. May be he is a kind of a guy who thinks , he is something different than others. May be he is so dumb ass as its of no use to expect anything from him. May be he is not social. May be for someone such person may sound quiet mysterious in a way.
So point is there could be number of ‘may be’s, and no doubt all of them could be right in one or another case.But i want to talk about core of silence. What eactly this silece speaks about.
Silence actualy is ‘absence of sound’.Here in writing it will be ‘absense of words’. So lets talk about it with the help of noise means words.
Most of the time i just wonder why people always speaks? Yes ! Mostly have experienced people becomes desperate if they get nothing to speak. They just cant bear the silence. It scares them. If they have nothing to say about present then they will jump in the future.If it will be over , they will drive back to the past. They will fetch those things which almost one has forgotten. And if even it wont work they will start talking about anything ..any kind of nonsense wheather it has any relevence with other person or not.
And you know what is the irony in it. No body wants to hear anyone.Everyone wants to heare oneself.People love their voices. You can easily find out a kind of thrust in their voice as they are throwing themselves over you and you are expected to hold them.
I wonder why a lot of people dont wants to listen ? Why they dont sit quiet for a while . I mean just say nothing. Dont talk to anyone.Just be in you. It seems being silent is a easy job. Becsue you have to do nothing. Its a kind of luxury. But is it true ?
When you are not talking to others, what will you do ? Just imagine ,what have you got to do ? Either you will try to concentrate on things which are around you or about current happenings. But after a time it all becomes repeatitive.It becomes dull..boring.
As time passes, and you are forced to remain silent. You ask yourself what should i do ? Here..just wait for a second . Did you notice , what exactly have you done. You have talked to someone.Dont look around.No one is there, for the whole world you are silent. But just now before a second, you have asked a question to someone. You have just start a conversation with yourself.
Here comes the problem. You cant talk anything rubbish with yoursel because your concious mind already knows about things.IF you will try to play with it or do some trick.It will reject it.
This rejection is something what compless you to run away from yourself.The outer world ,which accepts each and every world you say, becoms heaven for you. And talking to ourselves becomes a hell. You just cant understand the idea of rejection. Rejection which denies the untruth. Which denies what you are not.
It becomes a pain to face this reality. You seek a quick disprin for it.But here in silence, even if you will screeme no one can here your voice.No body is going to come to help you. You are free to yell. You will have to be with yourself. And Removing your so much beloved mask from your face is not a likeable thing.
Silence is a dangerous thing. Its killer. People scared from it becasue they just cant deal with it. That’s why they speak , they speak and even when they die, they wish to speak atleast something which can take them to the heaven.
Throughout their life they never get to know, what exactly they were ? What for they were here ? They live in a phony world as a phony characters. Real thins dosent come out.
Why did we invent ‘words’ ? Give a thought about it. Just to express our silence. Silence which stores your basic emotions and desires. But what we did with it ? We moved too far from our home that we actually missed the directions.
Words’ve created a more beautiful facny home for us. But it is unnatural thing, the natural one is ‘the world of silence’. And every natural thing is wild and beautiful both at the same time. It takes time to get to know that which side you are aiming at. But once you discover,things go easy.
