In Pursuit of Silence

The silence here is the door to personal inner peace! In Pursuit of Silence (latimes.com)

The film is about the magic of silence and its importance for human beings. The other perspective of the movie is the noise pollution that is hindering the silence and creating chaos on the planet. The movie shows the domination of noise over sound which is produced by the modern technologies and innovations. The movie has a different definition of the silence with a similar persuasion.

The movie was very interesting, and it made me very thoughtful regarding the chaos of life. With modern technologies and the modern tech-savvy lifestyle, we dwell on the unpleasant noise. We struggle to get peace of mind and silence. Our world is noisy so does our mind with stress, overthinking and the absence of awareness.  One of the most interesting parts of the movie that I found is the definition of silence by one of the experts. He says," Silence is a sound with many qualities which allows us to be much more balanced in the way we relate to the world, much more conscious." We are often so busy in our daily life that we don't even have the time to breathe, unwind, and enjoy the beauty around us. We are often unsettled, stressed, and unconscious about the present moment because we always dwell on the past or dream about the future. The thought that resonates with me was the suggestion to meditate which I do every day in the morning and before bed. Meditation helps me to come back to myself by developing self-awareness and mindfulness after the busy and unsettled day. It helps me to control my stress and develop a habit of living in the present.

The movie left me speechless. There was not a single part where I could disagree with. I love the technical parts, the videography of nature, the concept, and the powerful message that the movie conveyed. The film inspired me to live with self-awareness and to appreciate the relationship with silence.
