Compassionate silence very well may be the truest form of compassion we can muster. The minute we open our mouths we run the risk of judgment and scorn, if not implicitly so then very possibly run the risk of what we say being inferred as judgment or scorn. Compassion is the kindest form of patience we know, and if we are silent with our compassion, then we are truly patient, for who amongst us speaks up out of patience? In Job 2:11-13 we read of Job's friends who have come to mourn his losses with him and yet they say nothing to him at all but merely stayed by his side for seven days and seven nights showing their silent compassion. Jane Austen, in Pride and Prejudice use the phrase at least twice to describe Darcy's compassionate silence for Elizabeth and the new age meditations of manifestation it is compassionate silence that is listed as the very first step to manifesting ones dreams. As brutal and uncaring as the universe can seem, indeed its steady march towards total destruction or endless expansion of coldness and darkness would make it seem as a brutal place and yet surely the universe must be compassionate for it is truly silent on our pain and suffering.
