Sometimes, when someone`s arguing with you and asked or accused you with something and you just keep quiet, they automatically conclude that the thing they are accusing is true. But most of the time, it is misinterpret.
Being quiet has lots of reasons. We must remove in our minds that silence means yes. There are some people who just keep quiet for their own peace. Some only want to be quiet to stop the argument and to refrain it to a bigger problem. Some just don`t want to be involved and some, because of fear. Yes, because of fear. Although there are so many reasons why they remain silent, most of the time, the main reason is fear. Fear for them to be interrogated further, fear for their lives, fear for them to speak for the truth because of some circumstances like:for the safeness of their love ones, for involving powerful persons, for their own lives and for their freedom.
Though telling the truth is right, are you aware that telling the truth is much harder and tougher than lying? Well, most of the time, it is, specially when you are nice enough and thinking for the expenses of others, nice enough that you don`t want to hurt anyone despite of the truth that you must say. But truth must prevail specially when lots are involved and they need someone to speak up for their lives to get back.
This is one nice view and perspective to consider. Silence doesn't necessarily means yes for good reasons you've just mentioned.
ReplyDeleteMany instances in our lives that the truth may at times hurt. Others truly find it hard and tough to tell and rather resort to white lies.
Truth however always surfaces at the end. Only time can tell.
