10,000 people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs
that voices never share
No one dared

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
