You technically have every right to step away from a conversation whenever you want—silence is your call to make. That's a fundamental freedom. Yet here's the catch: most of us don't stick to it. We can't help ourselves. There's something in human nature that keeps pushing us to speak up, to share what's on our minds, even when staying quiet might be the wiser move. It's the tension between having the freedom to remain silent and the almost irresistible urge to voice our thoughts that makes us human.

Everyone has the right to remain silent, but truly able to keep quiet are few and far between.

I think basically it's just that I can't keep my mouth shut. I know silence is golden, but I still can't help but get involved.

The right to remain silent does exist, but we just can't help but talk, haha.

Hi bro, you're so right. We all have the right to remain silent, but we just can't execute it.

Speaking of silence, it sounds free, but in reality, no one can really do it... Still can't help but to interrupt.

The silent launch window has long closed; human nature is just so unable to escape this gravity well.

I knew it, silence is something only a few people can truly achieve.
