Usually it is because I let the situation overwhelm me: I become its silent spectator, someone who is completely at the mercy of its circumstances.
But (!) there's always the possibility of resistance in any power relation. There's always the possibility of breaking the long silence. There's always the possibility of transgressing one's limits. There is always the possibility of doing that one thing that one really wants to do.
Too bad for me, I am stuck only with the possibilities.
