This is "Twisted Silence". I was talking to my friend yesterday about the importance of having something of your own. Some secrets that nobody needs to know. And that is great. I guess it adds a little glamour and fun to life knowing that you have something of your own or something that you share with a small group of people. It is sort of like a good marriage. You feel whole and worthwhile. When you take a secret vacation with your loved ones. The next day at work you greet everyone there with a smirk of smugness. That feeling makes your marriage or relationship special!
But there is another side to silence and secrecy. A very hurtful one. The twisted, premeditated and vain silence. It is like a wall that you are building between you and others. At first it is fun because you feel in control and you have the power over the information. But then, it becomes damaging. We start ignoring and silencing people with a calm and viciously meditative composure that defines us. We usually feel comfortable and confident the most when we are doing that to the people we love. Comfortable because we think that we know everything about them and that we don't need anything from them anymore. Confident because we think that because they love us they will never leave and stop asking question. And that wall becomes so high that the loved ones do stop asking questions even though they don't leave. The Love gets broken. The Trust gets damaged. In the end, we learn that it is ok to be numb and indifferent a little bit more each time it happens.
Love one another. Share and listen. Don't be twisted, my friends! Only with love and trust we can rebuild Atlantis! Only genuine and truthfulness can build healthy relationships with your mother, father, husband, wife, son, daughter, sister, friend, neighbour. Love is the word for this weekend! Also, that is my meditation and resolution for this Advent.
Have a great weekend filled with trust and love!
