 SPEECH / SILENCE

Speech needs company

Silence needs solitude;

Speech wants to conquer others

Silence helps conquer self;

Speech demands respect

Silence commands it;

Speech is self expression

Silence is self experience;

Speech is mind bound

Silence is soul bound;

Speech asserts ego

Silence effaces it;

Speech dissipates energy

Silence conserves

Speech is human

Silence is divine;
