The long drink of silence is far better than the buffet of idle talk. A downpour does not last all day nor should the words of someone. If one’s words do not improve the silence, it is better to remain silent. This of course can be seen by the foolish as being unfriendly, this refusing to join in with idle talk. Speak when necessary and have something constructive to say. A downpour does last the entire day. The sun rises and then sets. Therefore, the words of man do not have to be continuous. Those who attempt to fill the silence are in error. The silence is already full of beauty.
