@nuuuum since you've read it, why don't you venture an opinion of your own save me the trouble and enlighten me

To have no desire is to be a rock in a field of flowers. what is this desire to not exist?other than to avoid pain? without pain can you truly know happiness? there is only matter. nothing else. complete silence=death.

@rufdogshavebumps beautifully said and if I may add on. With death and silence is rebirth, for the darkness spawns the light, not the other way around. The dualisms we see can not be changed, or altered but only observed. Thumbs up

[ironrasta1966]

this is the modern day consumer driven society we live in and the ambient noise floor level will only increase, the reason for is so that we cannot hear god, we do have one thing in our favour though, the soul grows in a storm not in a utopia.

Right on, Bro.

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."

-Aldous Huxley

@toxicblu just to elaborate on that, he writes that Bach's Brandenbuger is the closest to silence in his novel Island. =)
