Silent Treatment
Hello! *brushes off cobwebs* yep.. its still here ... my blog ...Ive had much going on of late and sadly dear old Blog posting was casualty. The username typed.. the password entered.. and my 75th post .. now begins ;)
Who formed the concept of silent treatment? Was it a torture expert from a foreign country? A special agent in mental battlements? Its not even aptly named in my opinion... Treat ..implies something special and something good ..ment... leaves one to assume it was intentional. How is silence a meant treat? I wonder if we harnessed the power that Silent Treatment has over people if it could power a citys electric supply for a while.
What purpose does a Silent Treatment serve? Who comes up with this sort of idea .. communicating.. with silence. I understand theres a time to be silent. Theres a place to hold your tongue... but if communication is key ... why do so without words :D What do you think? This is just a ponderment on my part :) Break your silence and Treat me to some soundoffs :D *be gentle*
Thank you for reading
Todays Poem:
Say not a word
make not a sound
make a point
but cause a frown
fold your arms
and lips zipped tight
this aint progress
to make it right
speak your mind
when something ails
communicate
or solution fails
Have a super day!

It seemed unsettling and ironic that there were no comments on this particular subject, so...
I suppose silence is sometimes wielded as a punishment -- that's the 'silent treatment', yes. But sometimes it's just capitulation, in lieu of
'communication' that has degraded into confrontation.
When a conversation becomes "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing", silence is not that bad an alternative.
Wow, that came out sounding really grumpy. That's what happens when I think too much :-P
