 <sub>[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/silencio-tranquilo-biblioteca-3810106/)</sub> Un saludo para mis amigos de esta hermosa comunidad @Holos&Lotus. Me llevó un buen tiempo enfrentarme a este tema propuesto por @maylink *En la otra orilla* y es que muchas veces callo asuntos importante porque sé que alguien puede salir perjudicado. Así, acumulo errores, propios o ajenos, que pudieron tener solución. No es conveniente callar lo que nos pasa o lo que sabemos está mal. Con el tiempo, nos convertimos en una gran bolsa donde depositamos todos los temas de los que no se puede hablar, hasta que, en algún momento de la vida, terminamos tapándonos los ojos ante una explosión emocional. Hablar de lo que nos afecta es beneficioso para nuestro bienestar personal y nuestras relaciones. Aunque pueda ser difícil o generar miedo en otros, las ventajas de expresar lo que sentimos y pensamos superan con creces los posibles inconvenientes. En otro momento, hubiera dicho que es mejor el silencio. Pero he ganado claridad: callar no siempre es sinónimo de hacer el bien. *La cáscara guarda el palo*, dice mi madre, y bajo esa filosofía se esconden secretos familiares que, de haberse conocido a tiempo, habrían cambiado historias o destinos. He ido iluminando las zonas oscuras de mi vida. Sin embargo, los secretos de otros los guardo como prendas sagradas, porque no me pertenecen y cada quien sana a su ritmo. Aún así, hoy les contaré algo que callé y hoy lo cuento fácil pero me llevó años de miedo y angustias.  <sub>[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/chica-ruda-belleza-juventud-4716922/)</sub> Un día, estando sola en mi despacho, en un tercer piso, vi subir a un **amigo** que frecuentaba mi casa y al que ayudábamos en su recuperación por sus problemas con la justicia y el consumo de sustancias. Creí que venía a saludarme, como solía hacerlo. Él, evidentemente, no había reparado en mi presencia. Comenzó a enrollar una manguera que suministraba agua a los depósitos elevados. Pero en ese momento, el miedo me atrapó. En cuestión de segundos, pensé que, si se la llevaba, la culpa caería sobre mí, pues era la única persona en el área. Si lo enfrentaba por tomar lo que no era suyo, podía agredirme, ya había lastimado a otras personas aunque creímos siempre que él era la víctima. Si lo denunciaba, terminaría en la cárcel, donde había pasado años. *"¿Qué hago?"*, dije, como esperando una respuesta del aire.  <sub>[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/es/images/search/hacer%20silencio/)</sub> Tomé una decisión rápida: saludarlo con efusividad para que otros notaran su presencia. Con nervios evidentes y una demostración de cariño que resultó excesiva, me acerqué. Él, algo turbado, me devolvió el saludo y bajó las escaleras, dejando caer la manguera como una serpiente asfixiada. Solo advertí a mis compañeros que guardaran en un lugar seguro los artículos. En ese sitio desaparecían bicicletas y cualquier cosa que quedara a la vista. Nunca hablé del incidente... hasta hoy. El personaje de esta historia siguió visitando mi casa. Abrir la puerta y ver su rostro me sumía en escenas de terror: bajo el efecto del alcohol o las drogas, era capaz de lo impensable. El resto del tiempo, era un hombre creativo y de buen corazón. El arte lo ha sanado, y yo no romperé esa obra de la providencia. Por eso prefierí callar su nombre y cargar con otro de esos fardos que pesan en el alma y el cuerpo.  *** *** <sub>Gracias por visitar mi blog, soy Critica de arte e Investigadora Social, amante de la cocina.

Which side is convenient?***  <sub>[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/silencio-tranquilo-biblioteca-3810106/)</sub> Greetings to my friends in this beautiful community @Holos&Lotus. It took me a while to confront this topic proposed by @maylink *On the Other Side*. It's because we often keep quiet about something important when we know that someone close to us could be harmed. Thus, we accumulate mistakes, our own or others', that could have been resolved. It's not a good idea to keep quiet about what's happening to us or what we know is wrong. Over time, we become a big bag of things we can't talk about, until, at some point in our lives, we end up covering our eyes when faced with an emotional explosion. Talking about what affects us is beneficial for our personal well-being and our relationships. Although it may be difficult or frightening for others, the advantages of expressing what we feel and think far outweigh the potential drawbacks. At another time, I would have said that silence is better. But I've gained clarity: silence isn't always synonymous with doing good. *The shell saves the stick*, my mother says, and beneath that philosophy lie family secrets that, had they been known in time, would have changed stories or destinies. I've been shedding light on the dark areas of my life. However, I hold other people's secrets like sacred tokens, because they don't belong to me, and everyone heals at their own pace. Even so, today I'll tell you something I kept quiet, and today I tell it easily, but it took me years of fear and anguish.  <sub>[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/chica-ruda-belleza-juventud-4716922/)</sub> One day, while I was alone in my office on the third floor, I saw a **friend** who frequented my house and whom we were helping with his recovery from his legal issues and substance abuse come up. I thought he was coming to say hello, as he usually did. He obviously hadn't noticed me. He began rolling up a hose that supplied water to the overhead tanks. But at that moment, fear gripped me. In a matter of seconds, I thought that if he took it, the blame would fall on me, since I was the only person in the area. If I confronted him about taking something that wasn't his, he could attack me; he had already hurt other people, even though we always believed he was the victim. If I reported him, I'd end up in jail, where I'd spent years. *"What do I do?"* I said, as if waiting for an answer out of thin air.  <sub>[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/es/images/search/hacer%20silencio/)</sub> I made a quick decision: to greet him effusively so others would notice his presence. Clearly nervous, and with a show of affection that seemed excessive, I approached. He, somewhat flustered, returned my greeting and went downstairs, dropping the hose like a suffocating snake. I only warned my colleagues to store their belongings in a safe place. Bicycles and anything else that remained in sight disappeared there. I never spoke of the incident... until today. The character in this story continued to visit my house. Opening the door and seeing his face plunged me into scenes of terror: under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he was capable of the unthinkable. The rest of the time, he was a creative and kind-hearted man. Art has healed him, and I will not break that work of providence. That's why I preferred to keep his name to myself and carry another of those burdens that weigh on the soul and body.  *** *** <sub>Thank you for visiting my blog.
