Silence Is Also A Virtue

Indeed, being aware of when to be silent prevents one from getting caught up in speaking traps. Silence brings peace. Although language is a simple thing, what it does can have a great impact. Both his good and evil deeds can be of vast scope. It has two sharp edges. It is also often used as an organ.

The eye simply discerns hues and shapes. The ear picks certain sounds with particular vibrations. Our hands pick up on the things they contact. It is unable to distinguish items that are not in contact with it.

Sometimes when we express our thoughts verbally, it merely has negative effects on other people or the surroundings. Additionally, this is a time waster.

Those who are unable to control their tongues and those who are unable to do so experience numerous harmful effects. They judge others, talk without realising it, can make people vulnerable, and break hearts.

Language should be used to promote kindness, goodness, wellbeing, peace, and friendship. Empty conversation is the first sign that the language is making mistakes and moving in the wrong direction. For the listener and the speaker, this is merely a waste of time. The use of meaningful language, such as transferring information, expressing affection, settling conflicts and issues, and verbally expressing one's thoughts, is hindered by empty discourse.

A linguistic misuse is also excessive and unnecessary talking. Language frequently fails to be restrained under secret. This amounts to a betrayal of the person he confided in. The sins of words are to mock, accuse, slander, offend, and insult. In a way, language's frequent use of profanity and coarse vocabulary is a reflection of lust.

People with rich inner lives are aware that their mouths are doors of goodness. They do not allow evil to taint their speech. Speaking to someone behind his back while they are not present is viewed as a serious offence in the religious community. Snooping and carrying on conversations are two examples of major sins for which language is a tool.
