A Moment of Silence.

Silence. A Challenge. 1 Minute today. Just one. Don't think that's much of a challenge? Here is the definition of silence from the online Wikipedia.

"Silence is the relative or total lack of audible sound. By analogy, the word silence may also refer to any absence of communication, even in media other than speech."

Here is a website dedicated to "Pure Silence"...http://www.puresilence.org/

What's wrong with noise? A three year research study done by the European Commission addressed this issue...

"What’s wrong with noise?
Research shows that noise can kill, as it increases the risks for high blood pressure and heart attacks (3% of heart attacks in Germany are due to road traffic noise). Noise disturbs sleep and heavily impacts on people’s quality of life. Besides its health and social costs, noise has economic consequences in terms of reduced housing value and taxes, as it is a relevant reason for people to move out of cities into suburban areas."

Take a moment of silence for your health.
