Has anyone ever given you ‘The Silent Treatment ‘?
This occurs when someone is angry with you, but they won’t tell you why ! Perhaps you have also been tempted to give someone The Silent Treatment, instead of assertively telling them what they have done to offend you.
Giving someone The Silent Treatment , also called Stonewalling, is ineffective. It is a type of passive-aggressive behaviour, and can also be a form of emotional abuse. Please, assertively tell people when they have done something to offend you. Communicate carefully to resolve your differences. Relationships are precious !
I occasionally take entire days to spend in silence. My husband, however , knows that I do this because I love silence, and I become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit when I am silent. But I always tell him in advance when I am taking a silent day. He knows it is nothing personal !
On a recent silent day, in the garden, I noticed, in a corner , some daisies I had not planted. God had decided that those plants would grow in the rocky area. I thought of 1 Peter 1:24 :
‘All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord abides forever.’
Life is fleeting, and our friends and family are God’s gifts to us. Let us ask God for the grace to be effective communicators. Let us avoid giving others ‘ The Silent Treatment .’
♡ I Agree EveryOne; yet to not give someone Linear Time is Dictatorial, go figure 🤔 ?

ON TEMPER; FURIOUS AND CALM
♡ There is SomeThing about OUR Sun, OUR Star, Bathing Gaia, Our Planet, with Radical Radiation EveryOne; it’s Crystal Clear Clarity that We Are Drawn to The Dawn that We Call SunRise and The Dusk that We Call SunSet yet The Sun is ALWAYS!!! There…how Fortunate, Blessed, Privileged et al ARE We to Have The Sun; yet We Whinge, Whine, Moan and Bitch about Money, Materialism and Our So Called Relationships…it’s so Crystal Clear Clarity that RAGE!!! is The Order of The Day; like Smiling Sweetly then Turning On A Dime and Snarling…now, please, don’t get Me Wrong; there is NOTHING!!! Wrong with Showing ‘Negative’ Emotion then Taking Time to Calm The FUCK!!! Down yet EveryThing Wrong with TAKING RAGE AND FURY OUT!!!

ON SUICIDE
♡ Please do not be in a rush to die; death is a release and 3DLife is a prison with the key on the floor that we don’t observe until we sink to our knees and release ourselves…stress, pressure, diamond hard ladies; especially Moms..money driven gents; power hungry and fragile, where is the love 🤔 ? love perceived as weakness yet I am weak and I love yet if you come at me with your anger be prepared to die and return to bliss because I am 😎😇🤗 …

Such Treatment 😔 ; then We Deny, Defend, Justify and ATTACK!!! ALL The While Weeping over Our InSane InAbility to Confront Our Parents and Other Authority 😓😲😭
…♧♧♧…
ON LANGUAGE
There is a Subtle Difference betwix ‘Can’ and ‘Able’ (Cain and Abel 🤔 ?); in précìs:
♤ ‘Can’ is The Capacity ALL Homo Sapiens Possess
♤ ‘Able’ is The Capacity We Develop in to Ability
♤ Ergo ‘I Can’ and ‘I AM Able’ ARE Different
…so, for example; I Can:
♡ Climb – Basic Ability
♡ Cook – Intermediate Ability
♡ Create – Advanced Ability
♡ Clean – Intermediate Ability
♡ Curate – Basic Ability
♡ Communicate – Advanced Ability
…please Take Time to THINK!!! about ‘I AM Able’ vs ‘I Can’ and why We Take Our CHOICES!!! to Develop Certain Capacity and Shy Away from Other Capacity; ask anything especially around ENVY AND JEALOUSY 😖😨😳😵😡😠!!! please…
♡ Look in The 3DLife Mirror EveryOne because there ARE Your Answers; Your Answers ARE in Your Questions about Others, The Monster InSide The Mirror

I’ve been busy so I was silent and just read this finding it very nicely explained. When I looked to see what others had to say I found that a few things that came to mind immediately that I was going to say had been mentioned already so I almost went silent. But, at last another thought came to my mind which is to say that whenever I’ve had very quiet time alone it allows me to reflect much more and better than any other time. So, to me it usually becomes what I think of as soul searching time, which we all need, to put things in our lives into perspective and perhaps to see or realize something important we overlooked in the frenzy at times of modern living! I see it as catching up and even catching your breath, giving us the opportunity to adjust or realign ourselves with the things that are most important to us, whatever they may be.
Thanks for the reminder.

My latest post regarding rebels wasn’t completed until this morning and now I can see how the bulk of what I wrote does again dovetail with your writing here in that being reflective and quiet is the opening up of our souls to the Holy Spirit at its best and that is when the right thoughts and words seem to pour out! If you get a moment see what you think and I’m always open to any input, yes even criticism!
