I did something radical this weekend.Quietly radical.
I canceled my DirecTV account. Now it's not that DirecTV did anything to me personally, nor was it an issue of service quality. It was all about the noise. I can't stand the noise - the discussions, the analyses that are nothing more than shouting fests. I scream. You scream. We all scream. Except it's not for ice cream anymore. It's about power and influence and destroying each other.
It's not that I don't have any deep-seated and deeply held beliefs: political, ethical, moral and religious. I do. And I don't care to have them purposely misrepresented any longer.
I've just decided to turn off the noise, and to grab a book, or take a walk or sit by the one I love and enjoy the silence.
Happy Lent!
Happy Silence!
