Try this mental experiment. Walk into your nearest neighbor's house and offer them this choice: they can spend the next half hour in total silence, or the next half hour with the television turned on at random. Which option do you think your neighbor would choose? The tendency to avoid silence comes to the surface when we try to practice it. One of the first things we hear is a little voice that says: "You really should not be doing this. You have important things to do."
