The power of silence must not be underestimated. We spend years learning to speak but never take a single lesson in hearing. Devoid of listening, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to understand others and learn about ourselves. The power of silence is almost limitless. It can confound, frustrate, and create illuminating moments. Rather than formulating your answer while someone talks, try to listen. What you discover might be life-changing. Learn when to use your voice and when not to, but silence and inaction in the face of tyranny and atrocities is cowardice. 25.06
