I came up with this a couple weeks ago and was wondering if anyone else ever said it before me:
Wisdom is not in the words we say but in the silence that follows
The closest to this, that I have seen, is, "The truth of communication is found not in the words we speak, but in the silence that precedes and follows our words"
Interesting. "Silence" seems to be a common element here. Thanks.
...
yes it is. i've heard of this one:
''Knowledge speaks; but wisdom listens"
and you have to be silent to listen
Yes, wisdom "listens". But does our modern day culture give us the "space" to listen. And having listened, how much do we understand. Is it a dynamic of our "life experience" (another way of saying how old we are)?
...
Im a new guy... silence could perhaps be, the breaking of something new, a knowledge found, am i right?
