TITLE: THE SOUND OF SILENCE

Each person perceives silence in his own way

Often people need silence and therefore prefer to be alone to reflect, read or listen to music, without talking to others

Sometimes silence is simply an isolation from the chaos, frenzy and noise that surrounds us, it is that oasis of tranquility in a world that always travels too fast

For some, silence represents a fear: fear of not hearing anything, no sounds or voices, fear of being alone, fear of not sharing thoughts with others

The dictionary defines silence as the absence of any form of noise, but then it is up to each of us to give the right meaning to silence depending on what we need.
