Many times it’s not what is said but when the words actually come out. For, the truth can only be absorbed when the mood allows it. The waiting game also means that not what has to be said needs to be complete but can be broken up in a way that is easy to digest instead of thrown out/up. Waiting can be winning especially when dealing with someone who glances at their mirror and stares at yours. You might lose many a battle but it is the war one avoids getting to the truth.
