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.

I have sent DM’s to Substackers that are ignored. It is hard to fathom.

We do regular analysis on the top trending concerns, or topics, on the internet. This was one of them. Plus, according to our review, this is a concern on Substack. However, "ghosting" is a normal ideation in communications in our culture.
