Confuse them with your silence! So what's so bad about being quiet? It seems most time the problem we have with ourselves as human is the problem of saying what is not yet ready to be put forth. So what's so bad about being quiet?? We all seem to have this problem and most times they are countless. Why is it so difficult to accept, even embrace Silence as a source of strength?
Ever sit in the vicinity of a less talkative person, felt their vibes and let the silence do the talking?

How many times have you seen a television show or a movie where the main character was reserved, cautious and thoughtful and where this was seen as positive? The media portrays popular characters as outgoing Quiet characters, as the role of a victim.
Art of Silence:
As a society, we have lost the art of being Silent. Yet Silence is powerful and has numerous health benefits. In Hinduism all thoughts,
Arises in Silence!
Exist in Silence!
Resolves in silence!

Silence makes people uncomfortable. You meet someone for the first time and you try to make conversation and then there is an awkward pause. Silence makes people angry. You get into an argument with a friend or partner and you get the silent treatment. The nature of our self, the SELF is silence. Sometimes it's hard for us to be silent – we get uncomfortable, when things are too quiet. Why is that?

Many successful people around the world practice “MOUNA”. The Word 'Muni' comes from the word MAUNAM, which means silence and a Muni is a person who has developed an introspective mind as well as a contemplated mind.
If you asked for the qualities of a silent person, I really wish to mention that, All silent people are not introverts . It’s just that not to say everyone gets the same version of them, for some they have the purest souls, for some they are the cold hearted! They have their own silent zones and they sometimes are the most interesting persons to talk to.

“Your words have power to burn and melt so many souls”
Thus they choose their words wisely. They are the architect of their own fantasy. They invest their energy in observing and absorbing their surroundings and reflect keenly. They are the most creative person. They are also the trickiest people to crack. Sometimes they become Silent killer when you had done something wrong that hurt them.
They will make you feel guilty by not saying anything and realizing your mistake as soon as you committed. It is worthy being silent than losing words to realize our opponents mistakes. Trust me, silent people are amazing souls to be friends with.

Here comes the poem for silent people in Tamil language as follow,
மௌனமாய் மனிதர்கள்
மலரின் மௌனம் விரியும்!
மழையின் மௌனம் மணக்கும்!
மேகத்தின் மௌனம் ஓவியம்!
மதியத்தின் மௌனம் வெளிச்சம்!
மௌனம் என்னும் மொழிக்கு இலக்கணம்
வகுக்க இங்கு மானிடர்கள் ஏராளம்...!!
மௌனங்கள் சம்மதமாகிறது
மொட்டுக்கள் எல்லாம் புதுமெட்டுகளை உருவாக்குகிறது..!!!
நீரின் மௌனம் நதியைக் கடந்து,
நதியின் மௌனம் கடலைக் கடந்து,
கடலின் மௌனம் புயலைக் கடக்கிறது ..!!
ரீங்காரமிடும் வண்டும், இசைக் கச்சேரியை இலவசமாய் இசைக்கும் ஈயும், முத்தத்தை சத்தமிட்டுக் கொடுக்கும் கொசுக்கள்!
இவர்களுக்கிடையில் மனிதன் மௌனம் கொள்கிறான்..!!
காற்று என்பவன் தலைமுடியைக் கலைத்து,
அடித்து, கண்களை கலங்கப்படுத்தி இருந்தும் மௌனம் கொள்கிறோம்...!!!
காக்கையும், குயிலும் கூட்டில் குஞ்சு பொரிக்கும் குற்றவாளி குயிலைக் கண்டும் மௌனம்..!!!
மகிழுந்தில் மௌனம்,
மத்தள இசையில் மௌனம்,
மயில் நடையில் மௌனம்,
மௌனம் மனிதர்கள்
மனதை மகிழப்படுத்தும்!
- மேனகா தேவன்.
