“I learned that silence isn’t always a treasure, but it is useful, when you want to say meaningful words, but there is not enough presence in the person standing in front of you!”
I love the topic about being alone… the loneliness that comes from within and the solitude that is just the physical absence of other people.
More often than not we mistaken being alone for being lonely!
I am the kind of a strange person, who has the “taint” of loving solitude!
Every day I have the need to get my own portion of silence, where I can hear everything… everything that happens inside of me!
Yesterday, I had a great conversation with “the friend with the different perspective” and this made me think about silence…
Do you know what I love the most about silence… that it reflects the emotions of those, who are present in this moment… if their inner world is in harmony, the silence will be in harmony as well… it will give more unity and understanding… if the inner world is shattered, then the silence could become terribly loud…
The screaming of your own insecurity, hatred and pain, will fill up the silence and make it unbearable…
Make it oppressive…
Silence is exactly this… the reflection of the presence…
Can you stay alone? If the silence seems too loud, if you are feeling suppressed in the emptiness of the room; if you are feeling nervous in the tranquility of the silence… remember that silence is a reflection of the presence…
As my “friend with the different perspective” said… “ Silence is such an atmosphere, where you can feel… where emotions could be “cached” without eyes and ears.”
More often than not we are trying to run away from ourselves and the collision with our inner world. We try to mask the unbearable feeling towards what we are, trying to obsess with people and situations, that surround us!
And silence is our best friend… it is always there, when everybody else is absent. It always reflects what happens inside of us and it gives you the opportunity to stand face to face with your fears, doubts, insecurities and disappointments… it takes out in front of your eyes, what you are trying to avoid!
And as it usually happens in life… we avoid those who tell us the truth, not because they are wrong, but because we are afraid to hug our weakness and show it that there is nothing to be afraid of… there is nothing scary in being wrong, feeling pain, being disappointed or unsatisfied…
As long as you have the courage to recognize the source of this pain and dissatisfaction… ad long as you realize that you are the one that gives them life and that you are the one, who feeds them and helps them grow bigger, if you postpone the collision with them…
Silence… it is beautiful… “it gives you the opportunity to “catch” the emotion without eyes and ears”.
Don’t run away from it…
Just in its presence you will find the truth for who you are, what you run from and why you are doing it…
