The Power of Silence

I used to think every argument needed a winner. I fought to be heard,

to prove my point, to always have the last word. The air would

thicken with unspoken resentments, leaving us both exhausted. Then one evening,

facing another heated exchange, something shifted within me. Instead of speaking,

I chose silence. Not out of defeat, but understanding. In that quiet

space, true listening began. A connection deeper than any argument could achieve.

Sometimes, the most powerful word is no word at all.
