Is Silence always Golden??

Lost in a quagmire of thoughts, i most of the times wonder if keeping silent would avoid all the possible melees around. Is it lack of audacity to confront or the desire not to let things go out of hand?

Ancient adage stresses that Speech if silver, silence is golden- Does it conform to new world "Kalyug" standards- when Right to Speech is widely exercised and no matter what it might lead to- damage is already wrecked upon. Sometimes not being able to verbally retaliate can present you in negative light infront of antagonists who can rip you apart in a social forum.

People around keep advising - become volcano like - build on the negativity for some time and then it vent out at the right time- to create maximum impact. Is that a way to burden any person with your catharasis? Moreover, this can also lead to close people around becoming victims of your lashes and then comes the time when you repent for arrows alredy shot.

When i am being shouted at and i still dont reply- what i give back is "Indifference and Silence" and i still maintain- it can be better way of striking the iron when it is hot rather than giving it back.


What Say?????
