It suggests an appeasing personality.
It links fragile filaments of ideas; and destroys tha container of sanity.
It stands for approachability, but earns enmity.
The brave think twice in it's presence, while the overlords pull off without opposition.
Silence deafens the loud.
Imagine living in a world where you should "just be seen, not heard"; a place where all your thoughts and brainchildren cannot be told to those around you; somewhere where it is considered rude beyond anything that exists to hear your very voice.
(Of course, some believe that this could only be possible in a Chinese household and the Malaysian government, but that's beside the point.)
There are many situations we are put in that doesn't entitle us to an opinion simply because the person issuing the orders are older than us. No suggestions can be made (unless you like to be called "big-headed"). You're said to be too smart for your öwn good just by expressing your thoughts about the situation, or coming up with ways to improve it.
Let's face it, those issuing the commands take standing up and speaking out as a threat to their (already all-too-powerful) position. So we, as the little people who cannot make decisions, must remain silent. Nobody wants a killer "ventriloquist doll" sent out to finish them. I'm saying this because the "ventriloquist doll" is just some stupid puppet carrying out the orders from a hidden, unseen force. And this unseen force is the actual bane of our overactive brains.
Don't fret...I'm sure that if you don't experience this at school level, you'll read about it in the newspapers. And you won't be happy.
