Silence And Speech

Silence and speech has its language. To be silent is to be quiet on a matter or choose not to talk or comment in a particular conversation. To make a speech on the other hand is to communicate by word of mouth.

Silence and speech work hand in hand. It is now left for you to know where to draw the line or create a balance. If you speak when you are not supposed to speak, you may be ensnared by the words of your mouth. Also, if you keep quiet when you are expected to speak, your silence may be misinterpreted or taken as a sign of weakness, especially when it has to do with sensitive issues where your speech or silence could form a basis for decision making.

Here is how to go about it. Read in between the lines. Be sensitive! Go through the details carefully where you are expected to speak or comment on. Make sure you understand what it is saying, I mean the content of the writeup, document and what have you. Don't be afraid of contributing your quota when you have to. And if you make a mistake, don't get hard on you when you can learn from it and move on. It is good to speak when you are supposed to than not speaking at all. This is because, a mistake can be pardonable at such times than when you keep mute.

However, if you don't know what to say, it is better to be quiet than to speak and create problems for yourself. Even the unwise, when he/she keeps silent, are counted as wise. At least, let it be that you have a clue or an idea of what it is all about.

Silence has its meanings and interpretation. It can Connot or imply approval or disapproval. But you have to know how to use it effectively so it can work for your good. Silence is a form of body language. So, to use it rationally, you have to master the craft. Don't speak when you suspect a foul play that is capable of implicating you if you do, no matter the pressure put on you. Don't speak when you don't have any clue about something. Don't speak when you don't feel secured in an atmosphere. I mean where your words can be used against you. In all, use your spiritual antenna (discernment of spirits), so as to know when to speak, and when not to.

As for calls, much as you can avoid some calls, there are calls you cannot avoid. For the calls you cannot avoid, you need a high level of intelligence to carefully select your words so you are not taken in for it.

However, in a free and conducive environment, you are free to express yourself as silence may not be suitable there. Examples are: chating or talking with a loved one, close friend, family member and what have you. #Silence#Sensitivity#Details#Discernment of spirits#Speech#Free and conducive environment.
