You write an email, text message or even leave a message to a loved one full of your emotions only to receive no response. An editorial that you’ve worked on for weeks is ignored as if nothing was written. Do you respond to their silence with more silence, vindictive speech or is there a different path? I believe there silence might tell more then you expect. Sometimes when a person doesn’t respond it’s because they have nothing more to add. Deep inside they might feel guilty for what has occurred or agree with you but don’t want to let you know. Therefore it might be best to let that silence be your victory lap, enjoy it with modesty and move on to the next race.
