Silence in eep
"I have come to find that sharing the same wrong opinion with a billion people doesn't make it right, and a billion people telling you your idea is wrong doesn't mean it's not right." I see them open their mouth to interrupt, but I hold my hand up, here in possession of an actual at-will superpower to silence the noise produced by those with nothing meaningful to say. "And yes, I would say a lot of people have some very popular opinions on that statement as well."
I can feel the frustration building as if to a rage, but I too remain silent, letting them understand their situation with all the patience necessary, until finally my words start to sink in. Only then, in what would be silence anyway, do I continue.
"This power only cancels noise by the way, it is a filter that will let through anything meaningful one has to add to the structure, or any honest question, each as determined by the power's source, The Holy Spirit, not I. The goal isn't to silence you, but to let you experience your own noise firsthand, then to hear your own thoughts, and then so you can marvel at the weight of what you have to say when you have thought it through."
They fall silent on their own now, at first seeming to consider a scheme within these parameters, but then seeking to honestly consider their own position, perhaps for the first time. Finally an inhale can be heard, the type which proceeds the speaking of words.
