Theme: Emotions |
Personally, I am quiet, and I like quietness too. But not silence, though. There is a shade of difference between the two.
In our fast-paced, information-saturated world, quietness is a rarity.
But the fact is that an environment shorn of noise offers strength and beauty.
Actually, being quiet is not just about the volume of sound or noise. It can mean a lot more.
Being quiet allows us to instrospect, reflect and also process our thoughts.
We are able to observe our surroundings better and gather information before we speak.
We are also able to listen to other people. There is no better way to connect with people than to be a good listener.
When we are quiet, we are at peace, and that goes a long way in ensuring healthy emotional well-being.
Some people mistake a high volume of sound to be an indication of authority. It might be in the short term. In the long run, it doesn't help.
Similarly, quietness can be mistaken for weakness. But, decisiveness and firmness, when warranted, would indicate the inner strength of quietness.
So, embrace the power of quiet observation, thoughtful reflection, and the strength that comes from a calm mind.
