Silent Love

People assume that love should be expressed by words, messages, talking and meeting each other. But there is an important part we are missing here. In many cases, just being present and available is also of form of love.

This is visible when friends miss each other. You can see it when a couple hold on together during a crisis. You may also notice it when parties are suddenly silent in the middle of an argument.

Unfortunately many believe that silence is ignorance and avoidance. But if you look at it deeply, it carries meanings of presence, acceptance, stillness and thoughtful intentions.

It is not necessarily always a bad thing. Silent love can be used when you want to smooth out an argument, understand a person deeply and look at a situation using the overall big picture thinking.

However this is not the only form of love there is. We all are different and have got our unique and different love languages (Refer to the book: The 5 love languages by Gary Chapman). That also needs to be considered throughout our communications and interactions.
