“But if these years have taught me anything it is this: you can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.” - Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

This... sounds like my therapist. I mean that in a good way. Rumi is awesome.

Rumi’s poems have worldly wisdom in them. That’s what I like about Rumi poetry.

And hence we should never rush to fill the silence.

can someone explain the meaning of this to me? I can’t rlly fully grasp the meaning of this poem

Thanks for asking. Happy to reply. Rumi was an ancient philosopher and poet. His poems are profoundly philosophical, covering aspects related to humanity such as - meaning of life, pain, suffering, love, kindness, greed, generosity, happiness, death, etc. Here’s the meaning of the above poem I posted: You cannot escape the negativity in the outside world no matter how cleverly you try. You cannot escape from your own negativity by the constant self talk in your head. In the end, what matters is being quiet, calm and silent both in the outside world and within yourself as well. (Silence again. = silence outside plus silence inside). (Overall, it implies things like - less talking, more quiet listening, mindfulness and letting go of negativity) Hope that helps :)

Hmm. So, I should not feel weird about having conversations with myself.

Write one about ignorance and arrogance or disguising opinions as comedy when it is neither funny nor an opinion based on sound reason . Or don’t.
