as if i care

affection need not to be displayed, exhibited. when one is silent it does not mean that one does not care, but rather one cares too much to show that one cares. any portrayal of this betrays everything. one is immediately caught, unable to overcome his surprise, rather than confront, confess or console another, he backs in shame.

 is this contradictory? to be aloof is to be thoughtful. to say nothing is to say everything. inaction is as deeply damaging/consequential as action. eventually everything is an opposite of its meaning. a paradox.
