Silence is essential in our life as intellectual beings

Silence is a tool which connects one's spiritual life with divine life. Silence is good, it makes one to do all positive things. It also makes one to be filled with knowledge and allows one to listen attentively to divine beings(God and his angels). It is noted that listening more is an imperative instead of talking more. Too much speeches makes one inferior. Also, an empty vessel makes the most noise. Lengthy words would make people bored to listen to one's speech. Speak once and do not deride yourself in only repetition. Act more than you speak. Do not speak more than necessary. At the same time, where one is ignorant, one becomes silent. Do not spend time in saying unserious things(jokes), so that your serious words will not be trampled upon. The fruit of the mouth provides a good meal, but the soul of the treacherous feeds on violence. A guard on the mouth makes life secure, whoever talks too much is lost.(pr 13:3), watch kept over mouth and tongue, keeps the watcher safe from disaster (proverb 21:23), so make a door and a bolt for your mouth, as you lock up your silver and gold, so make balances and scales for your mouth. Take care not to err with your tongue and fall victim to one lying in wait (sirach 28:25-26). Someone who does not trip up in speech has reached perfection and is able to keep the whole body on a tight rein....so the tongue is only a tiny part of the body, but its boasts are great. (James 3:2-12). A flood of words is never without fault; whoever controls the lips is wise (prover 10:19). Death and life are in the gift of the tongue, those who indulge it must eat the fruit it yields. (proverb 18:21). Be steady in your convictions, and be a person of your word. Be quick to listen, and deliberate in giving an answer. If you understand the matter, give your neighbour an answer, if not, keep your hand over your mouth. Both honour and disgrace come from talking.... (sirach 5:9-15), Blessed is anyone who has not sinned in speech (sirach 14:1). If you have been foolish enough to fly into a passion and now have second thoughts, lay your hand on your lips. (prover30:32). They well wait on my silences and pay attention when I speak; if I speak at some length, they will lay their hand on their lips(gesture indicating silence caused by astonishment, or confusion or admiration). Everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to human anger (James 1:19). Speaking much makes one powerless. Silence is therefore a powerful tool that will make you unstoppable and full of insight. silence would even help one to keep guard on even what One wished to say.
