Silence kills

Silence...........shhhhh quiet zone.

"Silence talks more than words".. A silent mind, freed from the onslaught of thoughts and thought patterns, is both a goal and an important step in spiritual development. Inner silence is understood to bring one in contact with the divine or the ultimate reality of this moment. All religious traditions imply the importance of being quiet and still in mind and spirit for transformative and integral spiritual growth to occur.

Having said all that, is being silent the best way ? does this not make the already present gap between people even wider, does this not make life more boring, more self centric, more dangerous, more non-social behaviour kind ?

Silence for me is the most scary thing that can happen especially because you feel lonely even with people around you.
