How Silence Became a Luxury Product
Our lives are loud — and too often it costs money to escape the noise.
www.nytimes.com
Silence has become a luxury item. Think of the wealth required to purchase a getaway from the noise.
Studies indicate that constant noise boosts stress hormones, blood pressure and susceptibility to other chronic illnesses. It also creates a kind of relentless distractibility that keeps us from noticing our very lives and our internal needs and longings. A never-ending din makes it more difficult to process grief and intense emotions in healthy ways.

I’m not afraid of curses or injuries that ghosts might do to me. I’m not afraid of the things that movies say that ghosts do, like lock the doors and windows, or show you what you would look like old, or make the present sour and moldy right before your eyes.
I’m specifically afraid of one thing: That they will watch me, and that they won’t stop doing that. I’m afraid that I’ll wake up and feel a creeping feeling, that I will let my eyes adjust to a darkness that is holding in a bad laugh, and that then there will be an old woman watching me, and that she won’t blink enough, that she is strict, and that when my inner feelings want her to stop looking, or just do something else, she will start laughing at me.
