Silence can hold a plethora of meanings. Silence is like words it can be used to build people up or to tear them down.

When used as a weapon during a fight it can have leaving the both parties mentally drained and feeling everything from guilt, sorrow, anger, and even a sense of power from knowing that you have hurt them as much as you feel hurt.

On the other hand silence can be used as a means to calm one’s own mind. Many use silent meditation as a way to seek peace, to better understand themselves or their lives.

For many of us even if we find the silence we seek it is hard to quiet our minds. With many years of practicing meditation many continue to struggle with finding their inner peace.
