Personal Reflection
I’ve wasted too many hours trying to outtalk ignorance, explain myself to the unworthy, or fill the air just so I wouldn’t feel the weight of quiet. But silence—real silence—can be sharper than any retort. It leaves space for the truth to echo, for others to hear the hollow in their own noise. And sometimes, holding your tongue is the only way to keep your dignity intact.
Reflective Prompt
When have you chosen silence instead of speaking? Did it protect your peace, or did it say more than words ever could?
