If you ever feel that people become silent only when they are wrong, you may be wrong to think that. Sometimes Silence is just another word for pain. Sometimes, no words can explain the dilemma between the heart and the mind.
The difference in opinion can cause disagreement even between two people who are deeply in love with each other. When these disagreements aggravate, they can become harsh exchange of words.
Most of the times, people exchange harsh words not because they truly mean it but they just need to win the agreement. They might become loud and even scream out of frustration and rage. The idea is actually to prove themselves right or even better over the other person.
Not everyone likes to resolve their issues with noise. Some people choose silence because more than the disagreement, what hurts them is the noise. But sadly, their silence is often mistaken as their weakness and/or submission of the accusations, they are implicated with. The reality is that, these people are the ones who want to save their relationship from pain by keeping their pain in their heart by remaining silent.
Never try to suppress someone just because they are silent. Silence is not Empty, It is full of answers. Only the people who care, can hear it. Being silent is not about being wrong. It is about respecting other person’s opinion so both can move on. Silence doesn’t mean that the person quits, it simply means one doesn’t want to argue with people who just don’t want to understand. It is better than unnecessary drama.
A MEANINGFUL SILENCE IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN MEANINGLESS WORDS!
