Manner of Silence

From time to time, we choose to remain silent when we are not satisfied with the service in one restaurant, when we are too pissed to talk, when we see no reason to speak about all emotions of ours. We refuse to visit that particular shop lot, we complain to the third parties or we simply keep it to our own instead of giving them our comments on further improvements, reason with them and speak up. Some may think it is more appropriate to spill and not leave it at one side, some may find it rude to comment directly on their faces and some may say, “Just let it be.” Perhaps it is due to the teaching we’ve been received since young, that we shall leave the insignificants aside, not exaggerating the problems but to minimize it to the maximum, to none. To be honest, how many can actually ignore the dissatisfaction just like that, to not feel a thing after an incident which might just get on our nerves? Not many, except those who can get things off their minds as easy as a piece of cake. Remembering what the adults used to say, remaining silent is a form of manner in our current society, where the nobility is shown in a way. True enough, as our emotions are hidden behind the mask.
