silent treatment is also abuse

satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam chardhi kala tere bhanee sarbatt da bhalla.  

its easy to be humble and kind and loving in sangat of guru or our religious places,    but we have to be the same at opur work, home and with all whom we deal with.  No good being a saint in sangat, but then treating other people badly.  Baba ji Mahara j has always told us that our deeds go with us, so earn good deeds all day long everywhere.   So treat others who we want to be treated,  love others as we love our satgurus.    Sometime what we say or do cant hurt other people.   also sometimes our silence and lack of actions can also hurt other people.   We have seen over the last year , that people use silence , the silent treatment to make others suffer.  Its a form of control when thye dont respond to you, dont return your calls, dont approve of what you ask.   It was shown that the same area of the brain lights up when we get physically hit or verbally abused (or even silent treatment).   Its just as painful.    So we have seen recently that slander is not just saying bad words to someone, it is also silent treatment as a form of control (not giving approval, or closure).     God bless all who are doing silent treatment with SAT BUDHDI.   please forgive our mistakes.
