RE: Seeking Balance Beyond the Noise: the ‘In Pursuit of Silence’ Movie

in #life8 years ago

Silence is something our ancestors were able to take for granted. I often imagine how peaceful it must have been before the constant barrage of cars, planes, tv/radio, lawnmowers and of course, the dreaded leafblower! Noise is more than simply annoying, there are documented adverse health impacts both physical and emotional, as you pointed out. I think it's the reason so many people are so cranky and depressed. I look forward to early Sunday mornings when most are still sleeping and it's quiet enough to hear the whoosh of a bird's wings as it flies by. Pure bliss!

It would be nice to have a little less noise and to experience true silence once in a while.
