SOLITUDE IS BETTER THAN UNWISE CROWD

Man is a social animal and it is impossible for one to live àlone.We always want friends to talk and for gossip.Ladies can make friends faster than gents.Ladies can not live without gossips and they enjoy gossips most.
A judicious reticence is hard to learn, but it is one of the great lessons of life.Solitude is compulsory in life because by silence we can know our own imperfections and conceal them from others.It is a great misfortune neither to have enough wit to talk well nor enough judgment to be silent.
WHEN MAN IS ALONE HE IS ALWAYS WITH HIS OWN SELF.

It is easier to make friends when we are young, but when we get older we learn to bit our lips instead of telling a witty phrase that may hurt somebody. We have a proverb saying "Rich who can, witty who knows, wise who wants" : not everyone can become rich, but anybody can become wise, as it depends only on ourselves to have "enough judgment to be silent." Thank you for this good discussion.

It is in our hands to get knowledge but it is not in our hands to be wise.Knowledge is proud and wisdom is humble.Old age is not possible without practical knowledge and this is the only thing that can never be had by the young.
To be silent is good but to be silent everywhere is a folly.Too much of everything is bad.
Thanks a lot.

@sunilmishra7756 "It is in our hands to get knowledge but it is not in our hands to be wise." The proverb says that it is in our hands to be wise, and proverbs are expressing the wisdom of the elders 
.
"To be silent is good but to be silent everywhere is a folly." It is certainly true for people like you and me living inside the civil society, but not for everybody : some monks are making a vow of silence to devote themselves to God, and I would not say that they are mad...

We are common people and we can not compare ourselves with saints and monks.
We pass through three phases of life, childhood, young age and old age.The children have to answer the questions asked by the teachers and parents otherwise they will be beaten. We can not make a friend without having talks. In young age we have to play with our children and colleagues. We have to talk to our wives and boss. In old age we talk to the granddaughters and sons and tell our difficulties to the doctors.
Keep silent where it is necessary and speak where it is necessary.
Thanks a lot.

it also confuses me a lot. i like silence,because it makes me to feel quiet and have more time to think.but sometimes i feel tired after having a long time to talk nobody.so i think one way may can help us, to make true friends who can understand us and we can know when we want to talk and when we want to keep silence.

I think that you know the things better than others. You are definitely experienced person.
We can not live without society. It looks theoritically good but practically it is impossible.Silence is also good but only for sometime. We should introspect ourselves when we go to bed about our works what we do throughout the day.
Thanks a lot.

Silence is the first step to wisdom. In silence, our deepest thought are revealed to ourselves. And we are able to meditate through our own lives; the aspect hidden from ourselves; those things are human heart conceal. Wisdom is the principal thing and in all our gettings, we must acquire undersanding.

You are right to some extent.It is right that silence is a great help for a seeker of truth. In the silence of our hearts, God speaks.
But we are social and have to live in a speaking society, we can not live without answering the questions of others.If God had liked our silence more than speech he would not give us tongue.
Excess of everything is bad.
Thanks a lot.

I Think that too much crowd is as harmful as living alone. Balance is always required in any thing in the world for perfection. Some People like yoga as he was tired of too much crowd and feeling stress after meeting too much peoples on other hand some people working in back offices feels alone like to share his thoughts on media and networks.

You are right to some extent.It is not compulsory that everybody writes due to the loneliness or for some profit.Some of us write because we are very much fond of it. I write because I want to know the thoughts of the good people like you of the whole world.
yoga is liked to keep healthy and fit.Laughter is the best and fittest medicine for the stress.
Thank you very much.
