How Thin Is Your Silence?

What's your opinion on silence? Do you like it? Dislike it? Yearn for it? Avoid it?

If you were to ask me this question last month, I would have quickly said, "I love it and want more of it in my life." That response would make sense. I live in an urban centre, have a teenager in the house, and am often in meetings with people. I don't have a lot of silence in my life, so of course I'd want more of it.

So yes, it makes sense. Unfortunately, if I'm being honest with myself, it's not true.
