Silence
Silence is the best answer.
Not out of weakness, but out of wisdom.
When chaos roars and seeks a voice to wrestle,
Choose silence.
When fools gather to trade in folly,
Choose silence.
When conflict rises, desperate to be fed by your tongue,
Starve it with silence.
Silence is not emptiness,
It is fullness restrained.
It is not ignorance,
It is intelligence under control.
The loudest man in the room proves nothing,
But the silent man he preserves everything.
He preserves his dignity,
His peace,
His power.
Speak not to prove you are right,
Be silent and let time reveal it.
Argue not to win a crowd,
Be silent and let your character defend you.
In humanity, silence is a sacred discipline.
It teaches you to listen when others only wait to speak,
To observe when others only react,
To heal when others only wound with words.
And when success finally crowns you,
When your hands hold what your heart prayed for,
Remain silent still.
Let not your mouth make noise of your glory,
Let your success make the noise.
Let your results thunder,
Let your life preach.
For the world does not need more noise,
It needs more depth.
And depth, my child, is always silent.
Silence is the best answer.
