Dr. Stephen Phinney: Ghosting in digital communications is more than just a social inconvenience; it is a reflection of a broader tendency to avoid accountability and Biblical truths.
Silence may be part of communication ("your silence speaks loudly"), but it lacks detail. This is a challenge in the secular realm - managers wonder if an employee received the email and understood it. An employee wonders if the manager received the email he sent a week ago, and if it was even read.
Treat others the way you desire to be treated. This is one category of life in which loving kindness can be manifested.

Keith, silence is not something you are guilty of, thank you!
I have sent DM’s to Substackers that are ignored. It is hard to fathom.
Agreed. That is sad, for certain.
I'm wondering what sparked this article.
