The Anatomy of Silence

It just gets me wondering down to my toenails why some people can be damn quite for eternity. It seems that an invisible thread tightly stitched their mouth so that no amount of word can escape from it. It's not that they are not gifted with well-functioning vocal chords, larynch, esophagus, tongue and everthing else that the Great Maker put together for Adam and his descendants to produce sounds that turn into words that turn into phrases that turn sentences that turn into paragraphs. It only takes a little effort to utter any of them. It looks like they are not too happy to be endowed with such an amazing gift of speech! It's just ironic that those people who have difficulty in speaking try their might to utter words that are hard to decode, not to mention spend tons of money to get the aid of professionals and technology. Perhaps, the most powerful messages that humankind has ever produced are communicated without a word.
