  1. And in the naked light I saw
    10,000 people, maybe more
    People talking without speaking
    People hearing without listening
    People writing songs
    that voices never share
    No one dared
    Disturb

    A philosophy professor I once had said that one of the worst things you could do to many people is to tie them down to a chair in a room with no stimulation.

    People are afraid of being alone with their thoughts

    Hence newspapers, televisions, radios, and the worst: mobile phones.

    A minority of people relish silence

    Of course the same person could relish silence at some times and not at others

    “In the still of high noon, when the birds have settled down, the formidable jungle whispers to itself: that seems so delightful to me!”
