Say Only
Words are cheap? How true is that really? Are words merely just lip services? Do actions really speak louder than words?
One of the commonly used phrase in our daily speech is ‘I don’t know’. Think about it, how much do we really not know about what we claim as ‘I don’t know’. By saying that simple phrase, are we just pushing aside the truth? Or rather, are we just refusing to accept the truth that can be so apparent?
Humans are intelligent. It is just a matter of us thinking deeper and trying to comprehend the things around us. We all have our senses; to see, hear, smell, feel and finally, speak!
The most common tool used to communicate among humans is by talking. But don’t we use our eyes to see, ears to hear, nose to smell, hands to physically, heart to mentally, feel, before we utter a word? Most of us will probably not realize this as this process may take even less than a second. Our minds are probably already busy trying to construct the sentences that are about to be released from our lips.
Readers, this may sound silly, but the words that come out from a person’s mouth can either be real or fake. Duh! However, the point is, even if it’s fake, don’t we all still have to go through that process of using our senses to conjure an idea to be presented by our speech?
It is not about our words being the truth or just a lie. It is not about, truth and lie, which is better and why so. Neither is it about if humans should try to detect every lie in every word spoken by the others.
Sometimes, talking can be like tearing apart a feather pillow. With all the feathers flying around, it is near impossible to try to pick up each and every feather and put them back into the case again.
I’m sitting in a library now, and there’s a ‘Silence is Golden’ sign on the wall in front of me. Silence can be powerful, and at times, silence can make a sound too.
Isn’t it important to only speak what we want to say, be it the truth, or just a lie.
