I used to believe that words have the greatest power but with time I have come to realize that silence has its own way of being understood too. There is a disclaimer attached to it though - either the person you are speaking to doesn't matter at all or matters to you the most.
Personally, I have preferred to stay silent in some important conversations of my life. While I have always contemplated if I should have voiced my opinion then, the conviction that its outcome was supposedly better than what could have happened has always stopped me from speaking.
Silence lets us handle the uncertainties in our lives. It lets the other person commit mistakes and understand the situation better. It lets circumstances speak for themselves. It has its own beauty of showing our disagreement too. But most importantly it also stands for acquiescence. Every single permutation and combination of it simply depends on the person it is targeted at. Either he understands it or doesn't but the purpose is not always served.
The probability of being misunderstood is the greatest liability of staying silent.
But we still practice it.
The fact that we have multiple choices in our lives and we are so unsure of choosing the supposedly right alternative that we resort to the one having multiple interpretations is the only logical explanation for our sealed lips.

A motivating discussion is worth comment.
I think that you ought to write more on this issue, it might not be a taboo
matter but usually people do not discuss such subjects. To the next!
Cheers!!

I write a leave a response whenever I like a article on a website or if I have
something to contribute to the discussion. Usually it's triggered by the sincerness communicated in the post I looked at. And after this article "Sealed Lips". I was actually excited enough to post a thought :) I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright.
Could it be only me or does it look like some of these comments come across as if they
are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at
other social sites, I'd like to follow you. Could you make a list every one of your communal sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
