The Power of Silence

in life •  7 years ago 

Silence speaks a great deal, the only language without letters, the best answer to certain questions, it says no and yes, and at the same times says maybe and never.
Silence is ofcourse a speech without a voice, the loudest statements without an intonation, a stigma of confusion and misconception
The difference between a fool and the genius in a conversation

Sometimes it's best to be silent, different situations require different reaction.
Most times we realise the best way to call out a fool is by being silent.
After much rant due to sheer ignorance, and the invalidation of an argument, a reply befitting of such alterances is Silence.
There's a common saying The best answer for a fool is silence

In the same vein one can admit to an inquisition by keeping silent.
For instance, You were there weren't you? Silence obviously speaks Yes in large tones to this question

My point, know when to talk and when not to, when to be silent and when to keep quiet.
Keeping quiet to an accusation can sometimes be a wrong move, for it's defend yourself or be defenceless.
Silence doesn't always mean being quiet

The Power of Silence, I can't possibly stress this enough, silence speaks volume, provides anonymity (if needed), makes you the underdog, glorifies your eventual success, personifies you as a threat and best of all, keeps them guessing.

Having understood the power of silence, it's only logical to use it at the right time, otherwise it may make a wise man seem foolish.

If you have good reason, remaining silent in any circumstance gives evidence that you are analyzing the situation and can analyze and give a more accurate answer, well they say there that you are a master of your silence and a slave to your words.

It's true silence in some circumstances plays the wise card.
