Your silence gives consent.

Summary

This quote suggests that remaining silent in the face of an issue or injustice can imply agreement or approval with what is happening. Rather than speaking out against something unacceptable or expressing disagreement, choosing to remain silent may suggest consenting to the situation at hand. It highlights the importance of vocalizing one's thoughts and standing up for one's beliefs, as silence can be interpreted as a form of passive agreement.
