Just read this somewhere and found it very true....
what is silence again, but a lack of words!!
I have seen relationships and frienships crumble to pieces due to lack of communication.
gone is the era when people used to relate love to understanding each other perfectly even in silence..
personally, i would be rather offended if im ignored or not spoken to..and the chances of me misinterpreting the silence as indifference or lack of chemistry is more.
it can be pretty killing---considering that the void it creates will eventually lead to the death of the relationship which thrive mainly on knowing and wanting to know each other more and more.
and hence, in that sense, i can never understand how two people who claim to care so much about each other have nothing to talk about, take comfort in each others silence..i guess those are just mere excuses for want of that extra space which usually is the outcome of fatigued interest.
in conclusion---words are a pretty dangerous weapon, more like a double edged sword---
just like they can reinforce and strengthen bonds, they can also cause damage when used in lack or excess..
just like they can heal a bruised spirit, they can also hurt when used wrongly or loosely.
just like they can they can communicate heartfelt emotions and create chemistry, they can also cause rifts and complicate the best of relations when misused.
and just like the right words may not be always remembered, the wrong ones may not be easily forgotten!!
rephrasing; "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can also hurt me"
so be careful with your words..even though they seem pretty harmless, you can never know who's heart they might be breaking!!
I admire your wisdom. This is so true that words can sometimes make relationships strained, but some people think it is funny to talk offensive to others before realizing how damaging it can be
