Speech is Silver: Silence is Golden
There is famous saying that says: 'Speech is silver; silence is golden.' Undoubtedly, silence is a great virtue that blossoms with long trials and tribulations. There is another famous adage that can be cited in the context. The adage says: 'Deep rivers run quietly.' This adage signifies people who are deep thinkers and have deep knowledge about life, prefer remaining quiet.
We are often instructed by our wise elders to remain quiet in critical situations. There is a reason behind their instruction. Remaining quiet is not only practical, but the best response to handle any critical situation. When one is silent, one's reflexive responses in critical and emergency situations are the most appropriate responses to handle and tackle that situation.
We are also taught not to use false speech, or tell lies, or be very careful with our words. Words we speak have the power in them either to hurt people or heal them! Unwise words, lies, false speech, words spoken in haste often do more harm than good. On the other hand, words of wisdom, love, genuine care have healing properties. But such words are spoken very rarely! For, only truly wise people have the ability to speak such healing words. The vast world of ours is replete with people who are very good at hurting others with the arrows of their unwise words. That's why our elders have suggested to us to be quiet most of the time.
There is another famous maxim that says: ‘Empty vessels make most noise.' This maxim means people who are shallow, with little knowledge, talk maximum; their gibberish and chatter cause maximum hurt and anguish. So again in order to not to be the cause of anguish for others, our elders have suggested to us observe silence.
In conclusion it can be said that silence indeed is better than empty chatter.
