We Need Silence

We need silence to be able to touch souls.

                                 Mother Teresa

Just like air and light pollution, noise pollution is a real threat to both animals and humans. Constantly being exposed to noises – even if they’re pleasant, like music – is harmful to our brains and general wellbeing.

Some of the constant noise around us is caused by ourselves, so we can do something about it. Turn the music off for a while. Don’t talk to your friends on the phone all the time. Enjoy being silent, try to find silent spaces - and to silence the chatter inside your head. It is during longer periods of silence that you can touch your own soul.

When you’re with a friend there does not always have to be verbal communication.  It is very relaxing to spend silent time together, like walking in a forest without talking, reading or doing something else next to each other - simply enjoying being together. That’s when we are able to touch each other’s souls.
