Summary
This quote suggests that silence, or the act of refraining from speaking, can be a loyal and trusty companion. Unlike humans, who may deceive or betray one another with their words, silence remains constant and steadfast. It implies that sometimes it is better to remain silent rather than saying something that may lead to negative consequences or broken trust. In this understanding, silence is seen as a reliable friend that will never betray or harm us.
