It's legitimate but it's a pose (non in the negative sense). Where is the harm in reading, talking, not abiding in silence? I do it every day and I enjoy it very much. Of course one can abide in wordlessness / silence if that's what he/she likes. I really don't get it. Where's the big deal in "entertaining" words? By the way that's what we are doing here. It is a bit strange to me if Godszen (I mean no offense) hangs in this discussion group, reads, writes and then tell me to abandon words. It's like if would tell my son not to smoke while smoking a cigarette. Isn't it?
