Does Silence mean you’re at peace?

If it is safe to say that silence means being at peace at all times; this is misleading. Many people choose to keep quiet about public issues and their experiences for varying reasons.

How do you know if someone who chooses to remain silent are happy or suffering?

  1. External Validation

Individuals sometimes want validation for the decisions they make, particularly those involving charity. They want people to show gratitude and loyalty to them. Unfortunately, this will not always be possible due to cultural, moral, and value differences. Individuals should not anticipate a reaction after delivering an act of service since the heart does not need to be constrained, but rather free of grudges and expectations. You don’t need to seek for an external confirmation to know if you’re doing something right or wrong. As long as you are happy, thoughts do not need to grow independently.

2. Self-acceptance.

Being authentic and independent is the most attractive thing about a person. It changes the way you think and embraces compassion and empathy. You are not ashamed of your weaknesses and strengths, and you choose to let your family know and appreciate them.

3. Alone

Only You appreciate the peace of the environment and enjoy your company Peace…
