1) When there is not enough time to say what we need to, do we just stop talking? When everyone is silent is it because people are thinking?
2) If we take as a given that true friendship is when silence between people is comfortable, then can we also accept that certain silences make most people uncomfortable? Is this to say that thinking, in this sense, makes people-not friends, here- uncomfortable? If so, can we expect that friendship can only exist when we are comfortable with each others' thoughts? If so, it seems that even if we have a lot to say and a lot to think about, the most uncomfortable place to be is in the middle of silenced thoughts- between friends.
3) How do we determine the lengths we go to achieve a goal in exchange for the lengths we would not have to go if we gave up the goal?
How do we know when roads are intersecting and when one is simply yielding to the other at its end? (and at an intersection, who has the right of way?)
