Silence is Golden...who said that? In the real world it seems silence is becoming a real problem. People just don't communicate enough, they're forgetting how to talk to each other and all indications point to that getting much, much worse. My own preference is for the expression, "Communication is key." I think often about the distance people create from others with their silence. More problems in relationships are caused by lack of communication than anything else. What frightens people? Is it accountability? Fear of being wrong? Perhaps it is an assumptive fear of confrontation that results in communication being avoided altogether. I don't know, what I do know is that one medium where people do seem able to speak their mind is on the internet in formats where accountability and being wrong don't really come into play. Nor do being sensitive, having any degree of self respect or any consideration for others whatsoever.
