This was a fascinating post to read! Thank you for the distillation of several ideas and philosophies! Reading this I was reminded of Faiz Ahmad Faiz's 'Bol' and how it urges us to use our voice to highlight the injustices of our times for how will you know you're alive unless you've said the Truth out loud for all to hear and it shakes your very core to be standing in the new era that it has created. Words are powerful and so is the responsibility to wield them.
Thanks for reading and thank you for the thoughtful comment Eman! I intend to continue to explore this more, a bit along the lines you mentioned. Hope to see you continue reading and sharing thoughts
The moment I choose to speak or do, I must allow myself to be taught many things I have knowledge of, by others ignorant of my view. So words become necessary only for those longing to feel externally relevant. Silence sounds beautiful in any language.
"Alike for those who to-day prepare,
and for those that after a to-morrow stare,
A meuzzin from the Tower of Darkness cries,
Fools! your reward is neither here nor there" - The Rubaiyat of Omar Kyaham

Silence is indeed golden.
