Silence - can mean quite a few things. The meaning of silence is very circumstantial and subjective. Acceptance, Rejection, Aggression, Submission, Love and plain simple passive laziness... Silence does acquire a lot of shades.
Being silent and being feeling silent are two completely different things.
Being silent can be for a lot of different reasons, ranging anywhere from the list mentioned above. This sort of silence sometimes is more dangerous than a ship wreck. This drowns the person who is observing silence in a lot of different feelings such as anger, self pity, injustice and stifling anguish. This silence needs to be broken. Unless the person speaks or vents, the person is never going to feel at peace with him/herself or life.
On the other hand, feeling silent is just the opposite. The silent feeling descends on an individual or two When there is content, complacence and may be friendship, love etc. When two people understand that silence is not a void to be filled by noise, rather a vacuum devoid of noise, and cherish the moment, feels the silence - life becomes more beautiful.
Whatever it is - understanding the power of silence and trying to practice it at times, at appropriate times, can bring peace to our existence.
