The Power of Silence
Ask yourself - What do I get if I remain silent during a situation?
Lets start this article with that question, hope you'll find your answer at the end.
When I was young I was a very talkative person but during my class 9&10 I was just thinking about the world and the people and this technology I was wondered where I'll be landing in my future. At that point of time I just started talking to myself and i left bothering about the world. I felt my emotions with myself and started enjoying with my attitude. And of course I'm able to feel that my time has started running slowly. Then I found much more time to work with and also I became Productive. Then I took this to another level after reading Mahatma Gandhi's Non-violence and Truth.
By the time I was in the mid of my preparation to a competitive exam, I am very well understood of this perspective. Lets see how my perspective was:
- I talk to someone if I am free or if my words matter and I do not get disturbed by some other person during my attention.
- I answer to a faculty if they really want me to. Like- if they point out my name, because if that situation want only me and no one else then it would be mine.
- I am like saving my calories too. As I don't have any unnecessary business. I save my food I have a good hope that other person around the globe may get out of his hungry.
- Initially whole my society, relatives, friends and my teachers would look at me differently. Yeah even I wanted some difference right? Let me hope in a positive way at least.
- Now they give me my respect-What everyone around the world are trying to get at least after their death.
Why did Mahatma Gandhi opted for Truth & Non-violence?
When you are completely leaned into something then you automatically go into silent mode. Your brain already knew why we need silence to do something perfectly right? -Get some answers here.
Lets do an experiment: Read something in front of a TV starting with 0 volume and try to end with full volume. When do you find calm and full focus on your book. Majority of you say at low volume right?-Get some answers here.
Don't listen to someone those who say you should be like this and that. Because those kind of behaviour or attitude are already used. Be Yourself, set a trend. Respect and money both follow you.
Say truth if you want to say something. Be in calm and peace when you start something which you actually don't know.
There are so many wars that ended for silence! Even India got freedom from British rule mainly due to leadership of Mahatma Gandhi who is best known for Non-violence and Truth. Why can't you give it a try? At least for a day.
