Can your words, spoken out loud, improve on silence? Many people are uncomfortable with silence, so they have background sounds or communication sounds from tv, radio, internet. But I ask my self, when I am thinking of saying anything, “Can I improve on the silence that I find precious?” So now I speak less. Maybe the other person is enjoying the silence. Plus, if they do not respond, I may get upset that I am being ignored, or they do speak but change the subject, which hurts my tender ego. A simple “Good Morning” or a friendly “Hello” may be all that one needs to do out of curtesy. How their day is going might be none of your business at the moment.
