Silence

Silence is the active expression of nothingness. It suggests that there is something to say but it cannot be said. Its main purpose is to induce a state of astonishment for those on the receiving end. Yes, silence is usually directed at an object in mind. Silence, which is composed of pure inaction and the active choice of not doing something rather than something, expresses itself by pre-announcing its action and then purposely not doing that which one would rather expect to happen. Like I said, its action is to induce a state of psychological disarray and befuddlement at the object in mind.

One can get the silent treatment which many a person is left bewildered at the hands of said receiving end. This usually tends to happen between the sexes quite more often than not since it is a preferred choice of many of psychological warfare between the opposite sexes.

One can make a bow of silence as well and this tends to create an aura of divinity in those who practice said bows but usually there are more the target of jokes in the Western world than they are elsewhere.

The purpose of silencing the opposition has taken dramatic turns which have resulted in extreme forms of expression in those caught being the target of said silencing. The most current use of manifestation to express this silencing has been to seal ones lips by either sewing the persons labia oris thus producing a sense of bizarre disgust for those who happen to be spectators of such displays of protest.

However, the opposition can also use silence to highlight societal discomforts such as the one recently displayed by the Maya people in the Chiapas, a state in the United States of México. This sort of display of silence tends to awaken curiosity at best but it does bring the point home in more ways than one can imagine.

All in all, silence can also occur in our daily lives but more often than not we cannot deal with the presence of nothingness surrounding our daily lives.
