Silence

Silence is a language. It is a universal language.

It shows the duality of the nature. It is so powerful that it tears down all the established languages in the world. None of which can ever depict silence perfectly as a word. Words alone can never express it in its truest form. However, it counterparts languages. It completes sounds. Silence in its very nature demands the latter to exist autonomously.

In response to one of Sarah's posts in her studylog, we sometimes find feelings indescribable. We cannot find the exact word to define them. This is when we are reduced to silence. Sooner or later, our feelings overflow. Some of us might laugh indiscriminately, some of us may cry hysterically, some talk to counsellors... We begin to feel the need to voice up, the urge to kill the silence.

So, silence counterparts sounds, doesn't it? It may goes in the other way round, but after all, we assume a very mutual relationship by living with quietness. Some may however choose to talk, some may opt for being hushed: After all, when in silence, languages simply become redundant.
