What a day of noise. Have you noticed the amount of talk that goes on. I am a abuser myself. It seems that all we as a society do is talk. We talk about the economy, talk about politicians talk about the weather and most of all each other. We listen to talk radio the most violent talkers of all. Rush, Savage nation or whoever: all we hear, do and say is talk. When are we quiet? When do we as a Nation, community,neighborhood, home, family just take a moment and be still? Why is it so difficult to be still and enjoy silence? Is it the fear that by talking we reveal we really have nothing to say? Or is it the fact we murder half our mind? The prophet suggest this, that when we speak we are expressing the inability to be at peace with our thoughts and these expressions tell others we live with our lips!! What an indictment of the society where we live. That the only way to live is by the amount of noise we make. The amount of racket we allow and the lack of stillness in our lives. I wonder what would happen if we listened more than express ourselves? Would we learn more? Could we absorb more? Or (shudder) might we hear the rants and raves of others who serve no purpose than to disrupt progress and by this definition churn up the foam of distrust so pervasive in our country? We need stories without words signs and wonders without comment...or maybe peace in comfort...what say you???
