What to Ask When Your World is Noisy

We live in a society of the wrong kind of abundance.

Everyone has an opinion and the tools with which to share it.

Ideas that once were mere fleeting thoughts now carry the weight given to them by social media.

The same goes for arguments, bloated with the pressured speech of the newly justified.

When words are viewed as weapons, everyone wants to wage war.

When “tweetstorm” has entered the communication lexicon, the war may already be lost by both sides.

What happens when you are having an argument with your partner or your friend — and you simply stop talking?

With the conversation suddenly vanishing in wisps of wasted words, verbal barbs have nothing to stick to.

Retorts become worthless.

Ripostes fall flat in the face of silence.

And when we reflect on what we are doing, we realize how much power we actually have.

Whether you ultimately decide to walk away or burnish more verbal ammunition to continue, the choice you are making emanates from the core of who you are.
