Sounds of silence

I saw two mute people fighting today. By god, it was the most splendid sight I've ever seen. I just stood there and gazed at them admonishing each other. Their hand movements really didn't matter because their expressions were so pure and full of life. Their emotions were so intimidating and yet so beautiful.Their facial expressions spoke a thousand words and more. Ironically, 'words' were something that seemed so futile to them when it came to expressing how they felt, that's why it was so pure. Later that night, I was thinking and realised that the best (or worst) things in life aren't really spoken at all. One glance, one raised eye brow, one smile,one shrug, one frown, one biting of the lip can convey so much more than these mere words. The entire lexicon could try, but would be in vain. We spend our entire lives trying to perfect the art of expressing ourselves through words, paintings, music and dance. But in the process we forget what true and raw emotions are.
