Expression is crucial to living a fulfilling life. One cannot
expect to gain anything if all communication is indirectly implied. If my
thoughts be hushed, yours should be too. If you have nothing to speak of, that
you are assured in your own logic, and my voice cannot be heard over your
defenses, there is no space for you or I to grow.
Besides Proposition 8 and every other issue people get heated about, it seems many of us need to learn to communicate an argument in our personal lives. There are those who intend to stay
silent until they are confident enough to speak, which is smart, but also unfortunately
may be too late. On the opposite end, emotional speakers will be ready for responses,
assuming the choosers, like them, will hit their point without the pauses to
carefully assess their words. And of course, when that doesn't happen, much can be assumed by silence. But how about those who measure their sentences
for the best possible display of words to benefit their argument- true or
false- for the upper hand in the moment. They will never win if their opponent
is intelligent enough to recognize the game.
