The Unexpressed!

There’s always a little truth behind every “just kidding”;

A little knowledge behind every “I don’t know”; and

A little emotion behind every “I don’t care”.

We often say things we don’t mean. In other words, we say something and mean just the opposite. There are various psychological reasons behind it. We are actually hesitating to share our innermost feelings. We are afraid of ourselves, so to say. We don’t dare to be honest even with ourselves.

People feel one thing but express something else; they intend something but say something else. What is important is that we must master the art of simply saying nothing in such a way that nothing is left unsaid. Let the silence do the talking for ourselves, when our words fail to do so. But then be careful that your silence is not misunderstood, as is often the case.
