Someone who says nothing remains silent and does not express or declare openly, by implied consent to go ahead with and that it is ok to Sabotage. This person operates on “I won’t fix mine if you don’t fix yours”, “I won’t look if you don’t look”, “I won’t know if you don’t know”, “I won’t plan if you won’t plan”, “I won’t act if you won’t act”, “I won’t learn if you won’t learn”, “I won’t work hard if you don’t work hard.” Tacit realities are deadly and are never true, but appear to be true due to the unspoken, unexpressed agreements.

An unspoken goal of many people who do not want to work or give anything. They often do nothing and have someone else work to make money to pay their bills.
