Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.

Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.

Summary

This quote suggests that silence can be a powerful way to express contempt or disdain towards someone or something. While silence may seem passive, it is seen as the ultimate form of expressing dissatisfaction or disregard because it deprives the subject of communication, attention, or acknowledgement. In a situation where words may fail to convey one's contempt effectively, remaining silent can send a clearer and stronger message, as silence often denotes disapproval or disrespect.

Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.
