“The problem with silence is that most people only notice it when it’s gone.”
— The Sage
The Sage has always treated silence as an old friend — patient, calm, and endlessly revealing. To him, silence isn’t the absence of sound, but the presence of space. It’s where thoughts settle, ideas form, and the world remembers to breathe. Yet, like so many quiet things, it’s rarely appreciated until it disappears beneath the roar of daily life.
He believes that silence is one of life’s great teachers. It allows wisdom to surface and humility to grow. In stillness, we begin to hear not just the world, but ourselves — the deeper rhythm beneath the chatter. For The Sage, that’s where understanding lives: not in noise, but in the hush between words.
Of course, he can’t resist a smile as he says it. The Sage knows that our noisy world fears quiet because it leaves us alone with our own thoughts — and those can be louder than any crowd. His advice is simple: learn to listen to silence before it’s drowned out completely.
