CODE OF SILENCE...

Code of Silence...

IDIOM Break a leg! It takes two to tango... those colorful figures of speech that play with language and take on a meaning of their own. 

CODE OF SILENCE is such one of those idioms that is prevalent in our society.  Language in a way is also a kind code of silence to the one who does not understand what another is saying in a different language.  They can actually be speaking about you right in front of your face but you have no idea what they are saying.  I experienced this while travelling quite a bit, which really came to be uncomfortable, annoying and exhausting. I decided to FORGIVE the THOUGHT that created the experience and the feelings began to DISSOLVE into the nothingness from which they came!

"The practice of not disclosing important or vital information by members of a group, as due to the threat of violence, reprisal, being branded as a traitor, or an inherent sense of honor."    

I learned from this experience to make every effort possible to INCLUDE others by showing EMPATHY to those who do not understand English, so they will at best feel my ENERGY of GOODWILL toward them.  Being on the other side made me sensitive to this issue and realize how much we separate ourselves by our THOUGHTS, WORDS and ACTIONS from one another.

REMEMBER when you encounter such ill will "Be KIND and COMPASSIONATE to one another, FORGIVING each other, just as in CHRIST GOD FORGAVE you." Ephesians 4:32
