I do believe that no one for their gender or gender choice, sexuality, culture, and financial, political, or social status should be bullied, period. Does a Silence Day help any cause? I doubt it.

Yet, such a day to bring about awareness need not be solemn or serious. It can be a day for relaxation and rejuvenation, as there is something to be said about observing silence. Silence heals and refreshes a person if done properly.

The exact date and customs surrounding "Silence Day" can vary greatly depending on cultural and religious contexts. Regardless of how or when it is observed, the practice of silence holds a strong potential for personal growth, insight, and inner peace.

On the other hand, instead of silence, wouldn't speaking up work better, especially for the solution of social, political, or socio-economic problems?
