I realized why people are so obsessed with videos with no music; where you can hear the knife cutting into the onion, the dress twirling and the water lapping against the boat.
We are obsessed with those sounds because we miss them.
We haven’t heard them enough in our own daily lives.
We play music nonstop.
We insist that silence is depressing and we settle for a noisy life.
But in doing so, we not only cover the silence, we cover the natural sounds of life. The sounds that we were born to hear. The sounds that make our hearts leap.
Technology has helped us in so many ways but it has also hindered us.
What is an area in your life that you are using technology to cover? Be honest. Get real. Take time to really think on this. It could all be much deeper than you realize.
