Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, not speaking can convey a strong message. For example, if two friends are arguing and one suddenly stops talking and walks away, the silence can show their disappointment or hurt more than any words could. In meetings, when a boss doesn't respond to a suggestion, it might mean disapproval without the need for criticism. When you choose to stay quiet during an argument, it can sometimes help to avoid escalating the conflict. Silence can be powerful and help communicate feelings or opinions without saying anything. This approach can be useful in keeping peace or showing your stance without getting into a confrontation.
