Time of silence

One of the ways people used to discipline their children was to stay silent in the corner, and so it helped kids concentrate and reflect on their actions, and realize what they did wrong, so they went to ask for forgiveness. That “punishment” made us a generation of conscience that help us think twice about what we have done. 

Nowadays there is a lot of noise around us, and people create content about any topic, music everywhere we go (we even play songs when we get in the car, in our houses, etc), images all over the place, catastrophic news that worries us, all that continue to bomb us everywhere we go. We are in constant movement and noise, when do we make time to think?

In silence. 

That is when we find ourselves with us, to think about what we have done, who we are and what we like. To fall inside ourselves, like Alice in Wonderland, and to get to know and reflect on the day’s worth. To listen to what matters. 

We tend to be silent at the end of the day, right before sleeping, and if we did good we can rest, but if we have anxiety or doubts about what we did wrong, the. It is time to add for forgiveness. 

It is in silence that the great minds in history have been able to discover, evolve and develop new ways to find a solution, grow and build a better future. 

Let’s be sure we can keep silent so we can be happy, if we aren’t sure, keep calm and remain silent until the answer comes within. 

Many philosophers praise reflection as the key to philosophy, Aristotle says they try happiness comes from contemplating the truth, and to gain that is to remain silent. Peace comes from silence, it is the key ingredient to be able to understand who we are and what we want. When we think we remain silent, that is the richness we have, to control ourselves by silence and to make a stand with it, like Saint Thomas Moore, with his silence he remained to try to himself and defend his rights against the crown. 

Keep silent, and remain happy.
