Silence is golden

We live in a world where we communicate with each other through words, whether written or oral. Is this the most effective form of communication? Words can be misleading or deceptive. They may have unintended connotations. They may even be easily miscontrued through the wrong use of accents or punctuations.

Maybe silence is the most effective form of communciation. Maybe we should use our feelings to express our inner most emotions and desires in silence. Although silence may still be miscontrued, feelings can be effectively communicated if they are reciprocated or a connection is formed between the communicators. Expression of feelings through silence also saves time and can be as direct or as indirect as the communicator wants.

But the reason why we still use words is maybe because we want our feelings to be confirmed in words.
