silence

after being silent for 5 days, i feel like it's time i said something. actually, i have nothing in particular that i'd like to write about. but i feel a desire to post, for the sake of a post.

like how people feel the need to talk... for the sake of talking. and make idle chatter for sake of conversation. when a moment of silence is a moment too many, and talking about the weather forms immediate recourse. actually, i have nothing against talking about the weather. i find that much of my happiness depends on mr. sun, and when he doesn't show up i do feel like whining about it. just that i detest using fillers. "how's work/school?" is another... like you care, or will remember. hmph.

i'd much rather people attached a higher value to silence. it's just so pleasant to have a conversation that's real, intended. even if it's entirely non-sensical. if there isn't anything you desire to say, don't say it. smile and move on. the politeness criteria is satisfied. you and i would both be happier.

imho.
