Do not mistake my silence for stupidity.
You are correct: it is not the norm.
It may be the point.
The one who speaks without considering the possibilities,
or differing points of view,
usually loses in the end.
Who really wins?
What does the winner win in the end?
Does any of it really matter?
Yes.
Unfortunately, the words spoken most frequently –
emotion without logic –
are blind and hateful towards those
who do not participate in the foolish laughter.
Do not mistake my silence for stupidity.
