Mr Mime

I always wondered how a mute person would be able to live. I always pondered about which would be worst, to lose one's sight or speech. Until I was old enough to venture the world, only then did I realize about the world of miming. Mime is an expression of actions, to an extent whereby NO WORDS are said throughout the act. I was truly impressed at how people who are able to talk be so expressive. Every moment was expressed by an action. Here's an example of an awesome piece of Mime:



Do you notice how every minute of silence is compensated by an action. It brings us to how verbal and non verbal communication can get along hand in hand with no qualms. I realize that he suppressed every moment of silence with an action and that made the audience attentive and not uncomfortable. It shows how humans are so used to hearing sounds, such that silence evokes some sort of uncomfortable feeling and awkwardness. From this we can observe that non verbal communication is only but another form of communication which humans rarely acknowledge. Shrugs, nods, frowns, winks, etc. are all day to day non verbal communications that are embedded into our verbal communication. Thus, when someone just doesn't talk at all, but does not show enough actions to portray his thoughts, we feel uneasy and are unsure about what they are feelings or are trying to say. We need to know that silence is also a form of communication. Like the only saying, Actions speak louder than Words.
