There is of course, a place for noise, as there is for daily lives. There is a place for roaring, for the shouting exultation of a soccer match, for hymns and spoken prayers, for orchestras and cries of pleasures. Silence, like all the best things is best appreciated in its absence. If noise is the signature tune of the world, silence is the music of the other world. Certainly, the greatest charm of noise is when it ceases. In silence, it seems as if all windows of the world are thrown open and everything is as clear as on a morning after rain. Most beautiful commitments are expressed in silence, people usually sleep in silence and in silence they admire the wonders of nature. Thus, even though they often do not realize it, humans are accompanied by silence in the most wonderful and peaceful moments of their lives.
