The Silent Acknowledgement

Silence for a long time is always deafening. Seriously, who would agree for that especially when it’s wordless and your mind stands out for judgment. It is uncontrollable and in order to seek for answers we will be wondering and keep on doing that till a fight takes place saying we are not giving enough space or we just don’t understand each other and lastly we just call it off. What if that silent has a powerful meaning and if we just give it some time it will be explained and meanwhile let’s just mind our own business. Even though it seems kind of hurting, in reality, we just have to accept that and learn to deal with the situation patiently. 

Patience is something which is very hard to be converted into a word that gets included into our life dictionary. In this speedy world, we want immediate answers and solutions to our questions and problems. Back in the old days, connection revolved around letters and it takes ages for it to reach the person. Friendship and love were recruited through this waiting moments and it just got doubled during this period. Technology made its way into our life and made connection easier and at the same time faster where information can be transferred instantly. However, connections made silence disappear in the background but somehow I had the opportunity to learn it in the most unexpected way and at the same time, some valuable realizations hit me.

A person’s life may revolve at any time without any further notice making them leave unnoticed. The situation just traps a person and they will fail miserably to fulfill all angles when all they can do is concentrate on only one. As such, my friend and I had a very comfortable beginning where we secured our details through consistent conversations and it was quite fun to always have a company who is willing to spare some time just to have some small or pep talks. It was kind of a ritual where we shared our common likes, dislikes, opinions and everything we had in mind. There was always this trust when we just speak our minds but who knew very soon these memories are going to turn out to be things that sustain the long journey which both of us have to embark on. A distance was formed due to existing work, unavoidable duties, consistent rescheduling of assignments and it just made the bond go unnoticed.

My questions lead to a kind of a huge misunderstanding and that is where I realize actually the beginnings bloomed to sustain the journey which does not guarantee both our presence. It’s not that we have forgotten each other but there will be this silent acknowledgment. I might say a “HI” but only after three days, a HI will appear. I don’t find the necessary to question why instantly there wasn’t a reply because there’ll be a reason behind everything that happens in life and that’s what is applied here. Certain things are better left unanswered because when the correct time comes everything will be unfolded right in front of us. The likes in Facebook, the seen name in Whatsapp status seen list, the double blue tick in Whatsapp chat are the simple silent acknowledgments because if a person is not bothered about us even these things won’t matter to them anymore.

Some things are hard to share and there is always this ego which does not allow us to step down that easily. Causing a scratch on someone’s ego is something intolerable for anyone and mending it cannot be done easily. So, let the person grow as they wish and even though there’s a need to let them go with all due respect let it happen but keep in mind that there’ll always be the silent acknowledgment. The special thing about silent acknowledgment is that it counts every thought and somehow assures us that we exist in each other’s life because it’s sincere and rewinds the past memories making us smile whenever a grudge seems to form during the absence. Never underestimate their absence because they will be there at the right time and there’s no need to be doubtful about that part. 

These silent acknowledgments might not be something to celebrate but certainly, it is important to the heart which continuously strives for the better being of both individuals. So before saying “THE END” think twice and most importantly have faith.😇
