Silence Please
"The WORLD IS NOISY; increasingly, if we want quiet, we're willing to pay for it. And with growing success, businesses and industries will sell it.
Retreat centers offer silent vacations, and hotel chains offer quiet floors; therapists specialize in silent therapy; nap pods, noise-cancellation headphones, and earplugs all offer the ability to hush the outside world...
Though the market for silence is hard to measure, anecdotal evidence suggests customers spend millions every year trying to buy peace and quiet."
A thought provoking and concerning concept. Our world is not only getting busier but also noisier.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Too many voices! Who do we allow to speak to us? Do they warrant that gift of time, trust and space to write on our blank canvas?
