Sometimes Silence Says More Than A Thousand Words!
Words, words, words! We are inundated and overwhelmed by a tsunami of words! They flood and flow from all directions and from multiple sources! Some words are worth listening to and some . . . well, let’s just say they are better used as birdcage linings (and that’s being kind).
When we fill the air with too many words, they sometimes lose their impact and meaning.
So . . . If words walk such a tenuous path, what might be better?
Glad you asked! Silence, that’s what! You see, Sometimes Silence Says More Than A Thousand Words!
You don’t believe me? Here are some of the things Silence can communicate:
- Compassion
- Respect
- Profundity
- Anger
- Awe
- Love
- Decency
- Empathy
- Disbelief
- Community
- Courtesy
- Reverence
- Disgust
- Focus
- Courage
- Intelligence
- Wisdom
- Invitation
Sometimes Silence Says More Than A Thousand Words! The next time you are tempted to wax eloquently, pause and think what a little Silence could say instead!
Peace!
