Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
- C.S. Lewis
It’s a powerful quote and one that resonates with me. My mother was fond of giving me the silent treatment and since then, I’ve gotten pretty good at dealing with it. As they say, sometimes silence says more than words. Silence is ambiguous; it can be a loving silence, a caring silence, a cold silence, or even an uncaring silence. The worst part about silence? You don’t really know which one it is and we tend to assume the worst. That’s where communication comes in. There’s nothing worse than silence. I know.
