According to the 23rd verse of the Tao, to use words rarely is to be natural. The implication here is that people should probably spend more time in a quiet and reflective mood as compared to a very active and locquatious manner.
In the 23rd verse of the Tao Te Ching, readers are reminded of the fact that even the winds, which are produced by the universe, are not intended to blow forever. Thus, the ceasing of the winds could possibly serve as a sign about the ceasing of our own talking. As a result of the 23rd verse, inner-reflection and self-examination should be our personal focus, as these two things are what enables us to become connected with the great power within.
When we connect to the power within, we will experience being embraced by the Tao (the way). Likewise, those who work against "the way" are those who conform to loss.
Peace and blessings!

This is so so true. I was just talking about self reflection last night. Thanks for your insight.
