“Is silence more powerful than speaking out?”

Design by me, edited on canva.
In the court of law; the hall remains silence and calm during a judgment case, a serene environment like this helps the lawyer in the court to properly scrutinize the case and brings out a positive judgement.
Being silence and speaking are both important depending on what happens, sometimes it is smart to remain silent and sometimes it is smart to speak out. In a situation where I have to pick between which is more powerful, I would say yes — silence is more powerful.
"Silence is more powerful" silence can be described in several ways; being calm, being quiet, not speaking and etc. taking a deep research about being silence there's nothing like silence is weakness, because being silence at the right moment is very genuine.
Being silence doesn't means that someone is weak, instead it means that someone is calm and composed on whatever decision, action that he or she is about to take. In the society silence people are mostly regard as decent, the wisest, creative minded, confident, peaceful, well organized and etc.

Effects of silence people in the society..
Silence people promote a peaceful and serene environment within individual in the society or community, they made it very conveniently by staying calm and observe, listen more but yet speak less, prioritize meaningful convos and are mindfulness.
Meanwhile speaking out in the other hand is also important because it triggers actions that can result in a positive result or resolve a situation but sometimes speaking up develop rage in anger, regret over words speak in a haste, misunderstanding, lose of control which can literally lead to a fight.

Fight scene because of speaking out.
That's why we have the context "silence is the best answer to a fool" not because speaking out makes someone a fool but because when speaking out especially in haste, one can easily say stupid things that cause future regrets and so on.
Word that comes out wrongly can hurt for real and it does cause discomfort or makes the person being said to feels emotional exhausted, to me the only way to escape falling into such a situation is being silence, think deeply before calmly saying a word. Calmly words can heal a broken heart and a broken soul; so ladies and gentlemen, with these few points of mine I believe that I've being able to convince y'all that "silence is more powerful."
Support your view with at least one real-life or personal example. |

So last year October; something happened at my workplace, it was a very negative encounter between two of my coworkers and my director. So I work on a pure water factory and there's this work materials we used to package water like as in a bag of water where you buy in a shop.

Bundles of packing bag.
It happened that the bags has been missing so investigation took place in the company as my director went mad because the material is costly; he wanted to know the person behind the missing material at all cost, during that period all the workers in the company were very careful and so innocent.
So these two guys were suspected and my boss didn't hesitate as he called upon them; it was a very simple question, did you steal my packing bag? The first person was fast to answer without even thinking and it turn out to be that the answer he gave had no associates, relate to the question.
But the second guy was very calm and honest as he paid attention to the occured situation and the question; answered in a very oriented manner, my boss couldn't accuse him because him but accused the other guy of stealing his material, something that he bought with his hard earned money.
Now you're about to hear the craziest part of the whole situation, after continuous investigation in the company, it happens that the accused guy wasn't the guy behind the missing material; it was someone else entirely.
The innocent person was been accused of something he knew nothing about because he wasn't silence; I mean he wasn't able to think properly, he speak out in a haste and put himself in a terrible condition but the other guy was silence, think well and confidently proven himself innocent.
In conclusion; in a world where violence is commonly detected and hard to solve, solution could be found in simple actions like being silence and calm, by this means we put down our pride, take a moment to scrutinize a situation and brings out a fair judgement.
