Great insight! Reminds me of some quotes written by my late Father, Sid Bolon; "It's always too late to recall words spoken too soon" and "A good listener will play it by ear".
It is also amazing how humankind does not only repeat its mistakes (e.g. harsh speech, violence…) again and again over different times (ancient, modern, …) and different cultures (western, eastern…) but also found fundamental truths in different philosophies:
Your text:
„There is beauty and power in silence.“
(daodejing 2)…the sage
resides with the task of nonaction
practices the teaching of nonspeaking…
„It is the emptiness of an enclosed space that makes a room.“
(daodejing 11)…doors and windows are chiseled out.

It is in its (space of) emptiness,
where the usefulness of a room is…
Thank you for the parallel quotes.
As I get older, my tolerance for auditory stimulation has been decreasing rapidly.
Thank you. So good so true so hard.
