Silence, they say, is golden but silence could sometimes breed
indifference and characterize our existence with no relevance.
Indeed, there are times to keep quiet and understand the
interconnections between issues before lending our voice or taking any action.
However, there are also times when keeping quiet becomes a crime of
unpardonable magnitude.
To many, the fear of being misunderstood or criticized often perpetuates
silence; the concern with being labeled or rejected often causes folly to take
center-stage while wisdom goes into hiding.
Perfection would cripple taking initiatives; the dread of making
mistakes will birth sons and daughters of Inertia. Imperfection, failure, and
fear, however, are building blocks of success.
What we don’t say will not be said; what we don’t do, will not be done.
Life is like a vapor; it might have dispersed by the time we are ready
to talk or act. The days of every human are similar to a patch of cloud in the
sky, they might have moved on by the time we find it comfortable to use our
voice and might.
On matters of fulfilling our purpose, silence is not an option. When it comes to
voicing out where our voice is needed, inaction becomes an offense. Remember
the Good Book also says that if anyone knows how to do good and fails to act,
then to him or her, it is wrongdoing.
The clock is ticking fast, our purpose has waited too long at our doors.
