A Virtue? Or A Curse?

Silence can be a virtue,
The calm it brings has a sort of healing power,
It helps to clear the mind in troubling times,
To think clearly and organize ones thoughts,
A quiet place to rest,
A peaceful and miraculous thing of itself.
Silence is a virtue that is good to embrace at times,
too much silence though can drive a person mad,
Silence is both good and bad,
it can mean many things for different people.
So is it truely a virtue or is it a curse?
