“Silence is a lesson learned from the many sufferings of life.”

— SENECA, THYESTES, 309

Silence Is Strength

Silence is strength.

You do not need to convey your point or win an argument with words.

You do not need to respond to everything.

Sometimes, silence is the safest, most peaceful response.

Silence Over Words

Sometimes, you need to prioritise silence over words.

There’s great risks attached to speaking, especially out of turn.

You could;

• Hurt somebody.
• Make a situation worse.
• Expose a secret.
• Say something you may regret.

You need to forgo the risk of messing things up with your words, and stay silent.

You need to prioritise silence over words, for it is always the safest bet.
