Silence

"Why are you silent?"
"Nothing to say; you are right; that's why I am maintaining silence."

There was; there was a ton to say; some of those would have been unpleasant for sure. But you mustn't be so truthful always; sometimes being quiet does make things more beautiful than the chaos waiting to burst.

There was a time when I had answers for everything, both sweet and spicy ones, and didn't care to think about the consequences. Those were the times when I was carefree, none to think about, as nothing significant was dependent on me. Now things have changed, way more than I had thought or expected—so much to consider, things that often slow me down.

I want to have an evening here on these lakeside benches. No one around me, not even my thoughts that always keeps me on the run, needs some calm and refreshing moment. But again, it's not the reality, and I must face what's out there; a response is required to bring the situation back to normal.

"You are controlling, or you are being controlled." This defines everything that we know.

Let's break the silence we saw in the beginning. A pretty big smile and saying something apart from 'nothing happened' in a more constructive way would mean the same but would divert the matter in your control. That's what I do now. Often I have seen people being a little bit shameless to achieve what they are asking for, such as an outing, candlelight dinner, and so on. So being shameless for a little bit and cheering up the whole atmosphere out of that bad and unpleasant mood is quite impressive, and when you want to avoid some unnecessary chaos, you have to adjust a little bit. The funny thing is, after a while, things will get back to normal as if nothing had happened; bingo, that's the reward that we had sought.

To me, it's an art to control every action of us, yeap, every action. Everything you are doing, your habits. Whether it's a good or a bad one, you have to have control over it so that you don't get driven by it in the end, which leads to ultimate chaos mostly. Maybe in a chaotic situation, you stepped down a bit to calm things; that step of yours is also calculative as per the situation and need; you mustn't let yourself down so much that your self-respect ends up regretted in the end.

No matter how long I spend in silence to calm myself, I must come back and face the situation to bring it back to normal.
