The art of silence is not easily learned. For some, it can take a little as a few months but for others, can take years. The art of silence can be your greatest ally or enemy. You can be stealthy and undetected in night. But you may be unable to do many things without speaking. Like the phone is completely useless to those who know the art of silence. To want to take on the art of silence, one must have a strong reason to. Not something like they got dumped, but a true tragedy in their life. Like a death or a loss or a fight or court or a combination of any of those. One must have true inspiration to master the art of silence. One must have the will, the power, the strength, the focus, and most importantly, the ability to erase everything from their mind, to be able to clear their mind of all problems and do nothing about anything. To be able to stand their and watch whatever may be happening or will happen. They must be able to ignore pain and acknowledge it also. They must not be stopped by pain, but be encouraged by it. For when there is pain there must be relief following close by. Once one learns that, with pain comes relief, and with greater pain comes greater relief, only then will one be able to learn, The Art of Silence.
