silence is bliss

Just finished watching another drama, Silence, by Vic Chou and korean actress Piao En Hui (Lian Sheng in Da Chang Jin). Love the show of course and some of the lines are simply amazing.
The story is about a girl who could not speak after suffering from a shock when she was 12. At the hospital, she met a 12-year-old boy and they found chemisty in silence. They share a secret hideout, a lucky star sign and a promise to meet again on Christmas Day in 2006.
As fate has it, they lost contact. And as fate has it again, they met again after they grew up. Not knowing they knew each other before, they resolved misunderstandings and fell in love. Fate has its hand in everything, the guy suffered cancer but they spent his last days happily.
The girl expressed herself through sign language. There was a line when Andy Hui said there is no need for words. Body language speaks it all. That was the scene when Andy finally realised that Piao En Hui (Shen Shen) does not love him.
En Hui did not have any verbal lines at all. Not until the last episode when she called out "Qi Wei Yi' and spoke 'I love you'. These are the only words she said in the whole serial. The most important words that anyone would want to hear. The only words that matter.
Of course there are sadists throughout the show to keep the couple out. But it turns out that they realise about the importance of spending your last days with the one with love. Who do you want to be with at the moment of your death? How will you die with no regrets, not for yourself but for the ones who love you and still living after your death?
Keep loving him / her.
Words are meaningless if they are out to hurt. I have been suffering this in my current job. The client is just out to say hurtful words to make my life miserable. So I chose to leave the job as I know I deserve good treatment.
That aside, love do make people change. Change for the better of course.
So next time, if don't have anything nice to say. Just be silent. It is more appreciative.
Maybe because of this, a guy chose not to answer my email cos he wants to reject me but does not want to say it out.
And I got the message of course.
More importantly communication does not stop at silence. Silence is a form of communication in itself.
