Silence is Golden. Listen to the Silence

Silence is freeing your mind from thoughts. No absolute thought about anything. All of us are told being silent is dangerous. Being silent is dumb and unintelligent. Anyone is who is silent; who doesn’t talk much is considered abnormal. I strongly believe, being silent is one of the best skills that we never skill. Being silent is very difficult for all of us. We run away from silence. Perhaps that is the reason we are always into our phones, computers, electronic gadgets, music, books etc.

Being silent is growth. When you are silent, you listen to others. When you are never silent, you don’t have anything to listen to except your own thoughts. You keep repeating the same words and same thoughts because there is nothing that is coming as you have stopped listening. Being silent is a good source to learn new things. All of us are running away from it, but none of us will be successful in it.

You become Silence

The best music is silence. It has no words and thoughts. The universe talks to us through it. Whether or not we like it, we all, one fine day, will become silent and so silent that there are probabilities that We May Become Silence. That is our death. We die and stay silent. The only purpose we will have is to listen without judging anything. Judging is also a thought.

You become so silent that your existence is forgotten. No thought about you will ever exist. None would talk about you and that wouldn’t matter to you all. Your whole sole intention is to listen and remain silent. Silence is the fundamental law of wisdom. The closer you are to wisdom, the better silent person you become because A Wise Man Once Said Nothing.

Irony of Silence

Isn’t this a beautiful irony that I’m writing about Silence (too much)? The law is to say nothing and being silent, but almost a full page article is written about it.

Israel-Palestine: The Only Way To Resolve Conflict

The first thing needed to resolve conflict is to build trust between the two sides. But a long history of bitter war between Israel and Palestine makes this difficult. There have been talks to resolve the dispute earlier but they have not been effective due to the absence of trust. Attempts at ceasefire have not been long lasting either.

Often war rhetoric unites people in a strange way. Nationhood and religious ferocity take it beyond borders complicating a local issue and making it an international one. A conflict arises over small differences initially but when it runs into decades, it become a career for some on both sides and instead of resolving it, their intent is to keep it alive. Blinded by hatred and narrow-minded political motives, these fanatic elements, often occupying positions of influence, become numb to the suffering that their own people go through due to violence. Even in this case, liberal leaders on both sides who have made efforts to establish friendliness have come under fire by extremists from their own side. The conflict thrives on fanaticism in the garb of righteousness.

A prolonged war gives rise to generations of people who grow up without ever knowing peace, thinking of it only as a distant, impossible dream. Distressed by volatile emotions created by volatile circumstances, many of them end up joining the fight and become fuel to sustain the conflict.

Every conflict should be seen beyond its regional identity. To end the vicious cycle of violence, leaders should place humanness above religious identity, irrespective of nationhood. Dialogue based on trust is essential for peace. The door of dialogue should never be closed even if it may sometimes be hard to find solutions. In this effort, all vested interests like the arms lobby should be kept out. Often Track 2 diplomacy (people-to-people contact) works well. Public polls clearly indicate that people on both sides are eager for a peaceful settlement. Leadership on both sides have to evaluate their commitment to peace and consolidate public opinion towards it instead of inciting aggression. This is the only way.
