Meaning
This reads as an argument that peace requires directness, not avoidance. The line treats silence as a tactic that hides conflict instead of resolving it, and points to accountability as the real test of whether someone wants peace or just control. It lands in a dispute where one side withdraws and leaves the other carrying all the tension.
