Just say ..
Today I had this thought that kept bothering me. A revelation, more than a thought. What does one do in the face of utter silence? in fact, silence is a far more powerful expression than all the words in all the language. One can respond to words in a variety of ways; some words wound; some comfort; others are outright venom; others still are comforting. There must be a million and one things and subjects one can say with words.
Silence, however is a different story. It is incredibly difficult to decipher for, amongst other reasons, the mere fact that you can go back on a silence a million times. Whatever your counterpart recipient may think, you can simply rebuke it - no words were said, so any deduction is a presumption, and presumptions are a trap for the unsuspecting fool ...etc. ...etc. You deduce ignorance, your counterpart accuses you of the same; you deduce lack of interest, and guess what? right back at you comes the table kid !!
So .. not ever being a man that's scared to say my mind, how about you say yours? say you hate me; say you love me; say any nonsense; say things that make sense; say whatever it is you would say .. just say
SOMETHING !!!!
QED
