The Sound of Silence (A philosophical rant by Dannoh403)

"The sound of Silence, a running stream, the leaves rippling in the wind, and two small creatures wasting their breath alone and defeated. It's the sound of Silence, and I can hear it now." 
-Brass, Rise of the Spartans part 7.
==Let's begin shall we?==
So, what is Silence? Silence isn't just quiet. It isn't undisturbed. It's different for every person. I was asked recently, what silence was like. It struck me as an odd question at the time. And I wasn't sure how to answer. So I have thought on it.
And I admit, I'm stumped. For I cannot think of a time when there was absolute silence. I don't like silence. It unnerves me greatly. That's why noise is good for me. I surround myself with it. The ticking of a clock. The blare of my TV playing "Fraiser" even when I'm not listening.
When I hear the sound of silence, my brain takes over. It fills the void of sound with thoughts. And when I begin thinking, I start thinking mostly about negative things. Worrying, imagining horrible scenarios, and just generally thinking. It's not good for me. 
Lately I have often heard the sound of silence. I can't seem to drown it out. But I have learned that thought is helpful. It brings forth buried emotions. And it helps me get peace with them. I encourage you all to listen to the sound of silence. And tell me below what is sounds like to you. I am curious. Thank you for listening.
