Most of us are well acquainted with the common saying “silence
is gold, speech is silver”. Silence helps us to conserve our energy and cloaks the ignorance of man .Unnecessary speech will waste our energy and expose our faults and weaknesses .A well known example is of KALIDAS who was presented before the princess vidyotma and who took him to be a very wise and leaned man. The reason being he never uttered a word before her.The spell broke the moment kalidas spoke with his mouth and came out with certain words promising his worthlessness. Thus silence gives us an air of dignity and gravity in society. A person who speak unnecessary is taken to be a chatterbox and gets no respect. So it is better to be silent rather than spend once energy in futile speech. If one is able to control once tongue and use it at the right time, one can control the word .So it has been rightly said” Even a fish can keep away from trouble if it keeps its mouth shut”.
