Cheat.

What? What do you mean
pretty on the spectrum of you
>>17592382
>1 month
>not 5 years
>>17592382
Why?
>>17592405
Baby steps. If all goes well then I'll take a vow of silence for the next year too
>>17592410
Spiritual reasons. I could write a paragraph for you but I don't really feel like it
>>17592382
You may have to give some context about how do you reached to that idea of making a vow of silence.
>>17592382
are you going to a retreat ?
>>17592382
I think you must know that vow of silence is not only "not to speak" but also "not to write"
In every way possible
I mean you CANNOT comunicate with the people around you and you MUST NOT write a single sentence even in 4chan.
Why though? do not enjoy your everyday family and friends?

Nah
>>17592415
I'm genuinely curious and interested in understanding more though. What do you hope you'll accomplish by going mute? An enlightenment of sorts?

>being a fag
Looks like I'm not really getting any advice. I'm outta here
>>17592431
You'd probably get some advice if you go into detail and explained a bit. You're not gonna get much with just a sentence.
>>17592431
You come off as exactly the kind of stuck up faggot who would consider taking a vow of silence
1 month is easy but you'll feel like you're losing your mind.
>going on 5 months now
You'll want to hear your voice, and if you talk in your head you won't be able to tell if you said it out loud or not. It'll mindfuck you.
Shouldn't you be asking for advice and guidance from monks and not /adv/? Honestly.

dont forget to kill yourself on the way out

I didn't take a vow of silence, I just stopped talking. Not for religious reasons.
>>17592510
Ah, I see.
>>17592382
Permanently silence yourself with a .50 bullet fired to your head.
