Know the devastating danger of accumulating silences

Sometimes, silence in response is usually interpreted as contempt. If we think about the traditional saying: “there is no greater contempt than not giving appreciation”, it might seem to us that silence is a strategy, which hurts and damages if we resort to it to resolve conflicts.

Even in some situations, “Silence is a form of lying”. A lie is always a lie regardless of whether we are able to express it in words or not.

An aphorism says that “silence is the loudest noise, perhaps the loudest of all noises,” but in my opinion, much more pain is generated when silence is cumulative. It is preferable to express what we feel and think, because this way we will have the option of different solutions and we will alleviate the corresponding burdens.

As time goes by, we will be able to carry silences and words that should have been expressed, A burden will be too heavy, and when the time comes, it will no longer make any sense to demand from the past locutions that we decided would be ignored.. Then, we will repeatedly remain silent again, temporarily or definitively, but without releasing ballast, and the dimension and magnitude that silence will occupy will once again leave us trapped (past/present/future).

Personally I suspect that the best option is express with respect and care what we feel. Always bet on the value and consistency that words have. The silence can be a noise or a tremor, prior to the catastrophe.
