無聲即沉默。沉默有各種各樣。
腹中空泛,思想一片蒼白,故無言可發,這是沉默。熱情已如柴薪盡燃,故而冷漠處世,無喜無悲,無憂無憤,對人世的一切都失去興趣和欲望,這也是沉默。有過愛,有過恨,有過迷茫,有過穎悟,有過一呼百應的吶喊,有過得不到回報的呼喚,然而卻守口如瓶,只是平靜地冷眼看世界,這是沉默。飽經憂患,閱盡人生百態,胸有干山萬壑的展痕,有江河湖海的濤聲,然而卻深思不語,這也是沉默。
Speechlessness is caused by an empty head or a blank mind that is silence. Enthusiasm fades away like dying embers, thus leading to cynicism and indifference to life, and arousing neither happiness nor sadness, neither anxiety nor rage, and neither interest nor desire for anything worldly, that is silence. Despite all the experiences of love and hate, of disorientation and reorientation, of order-giving that was answered by hundreds and calling that was not answered by a single soul, he keeps his mouth shut, but only watches the world calmly—that is silence as well. With sufferings and hardships, tastes of all kinds of human conditions, footprints left in mountains and valleys and sounds of rivers and oceans cherished in the heart, he is deep in thought —that is still silence.
