Silence-The literal meaning is 'the state of not speaking' ! The word silence has a much deeper impact than just this!! It is not just of mouth but also associated with heart and mind.At the same time all communication other than spoken words also don't imply silence.We have signer's who 'speak' for the person challenged with hearing and speaking disability.Their silence is physical silence.
A mind is usually never calm or free of thoughts...A sibilant normally pervades it.This silence is yet again either fatal silence or relieving silence! The ultimate goal of the busiest and richest minds is to attain silence! After years of arguments,discussions and lectures one yearns for silence. Yes my dear friend, Silence has to be attained. It can be attained after years of practice or in just a fraction of second!
True silence is as real as an oasis in the desert.As a matter of fact Silence is the best way to communicate! A silent prayer, a silent look, a silent smile, a silent breeze...it all communicates the best of feelings.The question to my feeble mind is what is the truth?? the communicative silence?? or silent communication??

Your thoughts get me thinking, Silence is more than what meets your eyes or ears. My little daughter stops talking to me when angry and conveys so much in her silence. We all come across silence in various forms in our walk of life. And all silences are excessively vocal and expressive and speak more than words sometimes.
Silence is not silent in true sense as one is engaged in continuous conversation with herself. But a true silence indicates death , of a relationship, self esteem , emotion and is akin to dead calm. The sound of silence is melody or whips of poison, depending upon what generated it.
