19 Silence

Without words or action, you cannot convey your message.
In this post, everything is written in black.
This is somewhat akin to keping your feelings in your heart.
It is there but it cannot be seen.
Unfortunately, it isn't as easy as just pressing ctrl A.
Words in your heart, those silent thoughts you harbour, they cannot be read by anyone.
They will remain where they are till you say them out.
Your deepest darkest secrets. If you don't tell anyone, no one will know.
Your happiness, pain or sadness. If you don't tell a person your feelings, they will not know how to respond.
Assumptions can be wrong.
Interpretations can be incomplete.
That's why there is a need for words. That is why every action needs to be backed with words. That is why graphic novels are more enjoyable by children. They can relate by trying to put themselves in the situation depicted.
You must first say your intent then act it out.
Thus, my silence is indication that I intend to tough it out alone.
That I would do it myself.
That I am capable of doing it in my own way.

But I sometimes can be wrong.
That's when I speak.
That's when my words are revealed.

Silence is not a bad thing. But too much of it means you will not ba able to understand each other. And it is these very misunerstandings that cause conflict.


Gundam 00 season2 We want to make a future where everyone understands each other.

That is just however, mere idealism at this day and age.
