True statement. You have to go to the root of what silence is. I don't think many people, myself included, really understand silence.
1.absence of any sound or noise; stillness.
2.the state or fact of being silent; muteness.
3.absence or omission of mention, comment, or expressed concern: the conspicuous silence of our newspapers on local graft.
4.the state of being forgotten; oblivion: in the news again after years of silence.
5.concealment; secrecy.
The kind of silence I'm talking about is #1. Stillness. Have you ever truly been in a silent place? Where it is completely without sound or motion? Absolutely still? Think of places we commonly believe are silent...
Woods...morgue...deaf school...(just kidding on the last one!) Continue to think of those places. Now really, if you think about it, they aren't very silent. Birds twirping, airconditioners humming. I don't know if I've ever experienced true silence. What a wicked concept. Silence is deafening...I don't think I could handle it.
Silence is something you can't hide.
