Most of the time, people exchange harsh words not because they truly mean it but because they want to win and be seen as the superior.
The differences in opinion can cause disagreement even between best friends or people who are deeply in love which might result in harsh exchange of words but what people do not know is that, not everyone likes to resolve his or her issues with noise.
So never try to suppress someone just because he or she is silent because being silent is not about being wrong. Sometimes not saying anything is the best answer, because silence can never be misquoted and again, silence is more powerful than proving a point.
