To cage one's own heart willingly...

I hear a kind of sorrow in that idea, someone so attuned to others that they disappear from their own care. Here’s a poem around that feeling: There lives a soul who reads the ache In trembling smiles that others fake, Who hears the grief in laughter’s sound, And kneels where silent wounds are found. A keeper of unspoken fears, A witness soft to hidden tears, They gather storms from weary skies And hold them gently, asking, “Why?” How strange, how pitiful the art, To know each fracture of a heart, Yet turn no lantern to one’s own, And make of sorrow flesh and bone. For they will calm another’s sea, Whilst drowning where none care to see; Will stitch the wounds on stranger’s skin, Yet leave their own to ache within. They understand too much, perhaps, The grief between affection’s gaps, The trembling guilt, the sharpened shame, The quiet hurt with no true name. And so they bend, and so they stay, To light the dark in others’ way; Till kindness, noble though it seems, Consumes the keeper ...

WE DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR WORDS BUT AT YOUR SILENCE...

Silence is a state.

 Just like there are all kinds of sounds, words, sentences, there are also all kinds of silence.
A person is not what he says but how he keeps his silence. But the talking state takes over. Whatever the state a person is in, his actions are the same.

Whatever letters line up to unite.
Whatever words line up to become a sentence the essence is the meaning. The meaning makes you understand others.

If words are silver, Silence is gold.

Its a nice phrase, yes
but what does it mean?

Silence is such a thing that can only be compared to gold.

I wonder, does silence expose more secrets?
Does it tell more than words?
 The last stop of words is the tongue. 
Well then, what is the first stop?

Just like all water has a source a spring, a home, there must be a source from which words come out.
That place is silence.
Silence is the source, the home & the spring of words. That is why we don't look at your words... we look at your state.

If you have an empty human mind that believes everything that is told the tongue is enough. Now, just because we are saying this, do not think words are insignificant.
Just the opposite, a person is his words. We talk about the truth that will ultimately arise like the sun. Our aim is not to belittle the power of words.

Words are indeed strong. So powerful, they make you believe in lies. We cannot make them believe in the truth.
