"Whispering is aloud."

Heh! That's a nice pun. Aloud is not merely allowed, here, it's mandatory.

LOL!!!! I missed it!!! I wonder if I should just keep it? This speaks volumes too! Oh that's funny and revealing.

Mandatory whispering. Then things can really be heard. Very interesting. The othervoices. The nethersounds.

Is there something about the cacophony of inane chattering voices that has led so many people to the whispering?

Here's one very interesting thing I've noticed. Sometimes the chatter in cyberspace gets frantic and mimics the loudness and confusion of the "outside" world. The sound isn't there, but the visceral probably remembers and reacts the same.
I wonder if people could learn patience in response to others. Real listening. Less hurriedness. Reprogramming of habit. Perception of a longer time band. New neural pathways. And eventually, great communication nad learning.

This is the problem with teachers. not enough interaction and people don't hear a lot.

Something is too loud all the way around and is drowning out intake. I do believe if it were controlled, subtlety and nuance could rise, and people could linger longer and absorb. Maybe exchange quality for quantity.

Hee hee, yes, keep it. It's wonderful.

Sometimes nothing says it louder than a whisper!

I've left "In Search of Duende" by Federico Garcia Lorca on the table over by the reading lamp, if anyone wants to browse. :-)
