Silence...

Silence.
Do you hear it very often?
Silence can be a beautiful immersion of tranquility or an uncomfortable entrapment of desolation. Its all a matter of perception.

Without the interactions of the world around us, silence gives us the opportunity to look inside ourselves without interuption; a warm invitation to clarity, or in many cases, (this being one of them) overanalyzation. Without the concentration on outside noises, silence gives a voice to thoughts. But what if there is nothing to observe? What if the thoughts and memories held within are too painful to acknowledge?

In those situations, silence can be a painful reality shock. Therefore silence takes a negative connotation and becomes avoidable.

If you are wealthy by societal terms, the world outside of self becomes a haven of contentment. If a life is built exclusively around possessions and physical desires, you no longer take center stage of your life. So when silence encourages personal exploration, the hungered soul eats away at the heart. The reality may not be that dramatic, or perhaps it is not even reality. But I just wonder why society fears this delicate peace. Why does it seem to make so many of us uncomfortable?

Often times emotions cannot properly be expressed through jargon. Silence gives us the opportunity speak a different language. Our thoughts provoke emotions, and our emotions trigger body movements and mannerisms. I'm not saying we should all just stare at each other and twirl around to express ourselves, but many relationships lack substance because they're based on words, not feelings. What if we kept our thoughts to ourselves and allowed our bodys to speak for us?
Are we too different from one another, that our interpretations would be misleading?
Would it create a deeper understanding or a huge miscommunication?
Ah- this got a little too complicated and threw me off whatever I initally wanted to explore. Oh the irony of silence...it creates too much commotion!!
