Silence

You don't think I know you? You do not think I know why you are so silent? Well, as usual you think I am an old box of jam just on the way to get mouldy even though you silently are tasting it against your will. Your silence day out and day in makes me just more aware about who you really are.

If I tell you a story you are silent, If I am singing a song you are silent and if I succeed with anything at all you are silent. Do you really see who you are? Faced yourself?

Dear, people are using silence as a weapon when they do not know how to handle a situation. This situation itself can be in real, online, in a chat, in a face-to-face meeting and for sure consist and depends on jealousy or nervousness. The fact is that this silent person is probably not aware about that the other part easily can read him or her reaction.

However, silence is also good to use when relaxing or in a meditation, but you are not. You can easy reach this meditation level just by using a calm place with soft lights, such as candles, and decide to get silent for x minutes. Afterwards you feel that you have reached your inner strength and you can meet yourself in the mirror. But you are not meditating, neither relaxing.

People where the environment in which they grow up were bad often as adults act as silent types as they may be thinking that they have not so much to deliver, but you told me your childhood was good and that you had got a lot of love and respect. My Goosh!

Who founded the silence?
