I want to live in peace, not in silence.

Whether it's plagiarized or not, It's to the point and fucking real.

Re. A sentence (not a poem)
This is very true. Too often in spirituality we equate the two, but they are not the same thing for everyone.

Straight to the point. Very true.
The voiceless have no peace.

Re. A sentence (not a poem)
I agree. Silence isn't a direct link to peace. There can be mysterious, deafening, awkward, and frightening silence. The way I see it, peace takes hard work, and dealing with being responsible, and taking self into consideration, and being in control of that. Any person can be ignorant and not say anything. Peace takes hard work, which sometimes, is necessary to stand up for, or be vocal about, in the appropriate settings. It can also save you, to rationalize, and solve problems, rather than laying them to the side, and saying ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is not bliss; wisdom is. Ignorance and/or silence sometimes don't address the problem, but wisdom does, so that it can come to terms with, and understand the problem. After that, there can be peace. Anyway, this is just some philosophical thinking. I could be totally thrown off by your statement, and its intention, heh. It made me think. I agree - I want to live in peace, not silence.

You unpacked that perfectly.
I like your addition of "wisdom is bliss".
While knowing can cause its own problems, ultimately I'd much rather seek understanding than remain ignorant.
Thanks for the comment.

Yeah, and another interpretation would involve being social entirely. In that context, it's about being open. Rather than just being unspoken, expression can do something for the heart, in both the listener, and speaker. It's not necessarily about discovering self or how you fit in, rather, just living life, in accepting others. I think some of that contextual interpretation could apply to this statement, as well as the honest need of emotional fulfillment, in both being social, and controlling self. Thanks for the thoughts, heh.

You certainly don't waste what you've got.
That was another insightful interpretation on your behalf, nice one man.
From a personal point I'm often somewhat out spoken (as I'm sure people have noticed). So it could apply to any situation where one may feel another perspective could be valid or bring insight, obviously tactfully.
(though I may match tone, depending).
I'm not trying to sound like I'm going on about myself when I do I just like to explain where I'm coming from (or to show situational understanding).
Controlling self can be difficult, though in not greatly impulsive. Limits I put on my self medicating impulses are generally ignored.
Being a person gets very complicated.

Yeah, it is complicated. Semantics and interpretation can be rather ambiguous at times as well, heh. That's some of the beauty of art in itself. Again, I see this as a "defining" sentence, perhaps a phrase that you could rationalize with a modality of balance to apply in example when life throws you a curveball. It has more than one meaning to me, I'll just say that. Again, thanks for sharing.

I'm glad it resonated in such a meaningful way.
I love word play there's something especially satisfying about writing that can be interpreted as a definite and ambiguous simultaneously.
Good to talk man.

Re: Re. A sentence (not a poem)
People are odd they don't like being told what to think, while standing ones ground is admirable. I do wonder if people think about what they're told?
It's ok to agree with another's perspective but that doesn't necessarily mean one must agree with or staunchly defend everything another may represent.
Sorry I'm feeling philosophical, right now.

Re: Re. A sentence (not a poem)
Yeah, I also agree with this. It's a very packed statement, your sentence here. Can be looked at many ways.
