Vow of Silence

I read that Gandhi Ji vowed for silence every monday. I read few reasons and benefits of this. J.S.Mill said that: Man is sovereign over his mind, body & soul. After I completed my vow of silence for the day I realized how abstract we are in today's world. We don't command our thought, it's the surrounding and people controlling much in us. I abuse when I am with my friends. With acquaintances I act sophisticated. But today when I vowed for silence I realized there is so much I can change in me. I learned few things I want to share and also because when I read this post again in my life I can ponder over what to inculcate in me.
1. I learned to be more tolerant.
2. At some point it is good to smile on your friends and avoid the needless argument.
3. It is important to realize that life can be so simple without a phone or worrisome thoughts.
4. It really structures your thought and makes you a better person.
5. Now I know better that how judiciously I should use my words.
6. I have not spoken the whole day a single word; tomorrow when I will speak I really know in the daily schedule where to avoid unnecessary conversation.
7. Finally, this experience will make you a calm being.

Life is all about experiences. I have decided to abuse less. I cannot stop abusing as I have to retaliate to my friends. But yes, when I die. Till that day I can inculcate all these above qualities. Including quitting abusing forever.
