" | “Sometimes, even the most eloquent of phraseology and greatest of implication does not achieve the desired effect of comfort and support. Words can oft be misconstrued and edifying dialogue can fall victim to far too many factors outside of both the speaker and listener’s control. However, there’s one thing that can never be misinterpreted when a friend needs solace, and that’s a simple, earnest, heartfelt embrace ensconce in naught but silence. It’s the ever-efficacious minimalistic approach to affirming any previous statements to the tune of ‘I’m there for you’ without any chaff that might add or subtract meaning. Either way, it’s an excellent tactic. Unfortunately, it’s a bit hard to execute with black pixels as your medium. Just do your best without breaking yourself, Cuet. That’s all any true friend could ask for.” |
