Still waters run deep

Anger..pain...fear....

Some people choose to let it consume them. They let it take over any rational thought, and allow these to smother their own heart. They let their blood boil, and theire mind goes along with it. Words spew from their mouths and hit your skin like lava to a petal. No sense, no hearing, no understanding, even the softest of words, to them can be seen as an attack. There will never be any understanding and you will not be understood. Pure ugliness in speech and behavior is far removed from the practices of the great Examples sent to us.

Some people choose to remain in thought. They let their breath steady themselves and regain control by choosing what thoughts to accept, and what words to express. Sometimes, they must choose to remain silent, where their words can not be altered, for the truth that resides within' can not be changed... Knowing the truth in peaceful silence is better than speaking the truth confronted by rage. Its like being a human mirror, and not all will like what they see, and will hate you for it.

Sometimes these people walk away, without a word to say...and it is why I will always remember that Still waters run deep...and the choice is always yours.
